Gatundu South Member of Parliament (MP) Moses Kuria has once again openly castigated Deputy President William Ruto's bid for the presidency.
In an interview with a local media station on Sunday, November 7, Kuria expressed fear of Ruto's presidency, stating that the country would not be in safe hands under the leadership of its current second-in-command.
He further stated that Ruto's presidency would be an imperial one – a presidency that relies on powers beyond those allowed by the constitution, which is the biggest problem the country faces.
"People are asking in whose hands are we safe. We are not safe with Ruto," he stated.
Kuria did not spare the other presidential leaders including Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader, Raila Odinga, stating that all of them were vile.
"We are not safe with Raila, I am not boarding," the Gatundu South legislator stated.
The vocal MP further stated all the presidential candidates posed danger to the country, and that they would need a neutralising factor in the form of a running mate.
When asked about Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua, whom he has held several meetings with, Kuria revealed that he also had his reservations about her.
"Whatever I say, about Martha Karua, you cannot say she is my cup of tea," he remarked.
Kuria is not the only ally of the Deputy President who has, in one way or another, expressed doubts over the DP. In an interview with a media outlet in September, Garissa Township MP, Aden Duale, poked holes on the DP's loyalty.
He disclosed that he believed that Ruto, whom he supports for the 2022 presidential poll, would eventually betray him – just like all other politicians who have double-crossed their allies.
“Do not trust anyone in politics. Do not trust the journey he walks with you. Do not trust where he places you," Duale stated.
He added that the politics in Kenya is synonymous with betrayal, deceit, humiliation, backstabbing, and throwing people under the bus.
