MP

Moses Kuria is a vocal Kenyan politician and the current member of Parliament for Gatundu South 2013–2017 term.[1] He is a member of the Jubilee Party. He was first elected unopposed to the position after it was announced vacant following the death of Hon. Jossy Ngugi, who was elected to represent the people of Gatundu South on TNA party.

Political career

Kuria is a staunch admirer of former President Kibaki.[2] He attributes his admiration for politics to the former president. His political journey started when he joined Kibaki's team through Uhuru Kenyatta's Kanu Party.

Controversy

Kuria's political career has been marred by controversy. His outspokenness has had him branded a 'tribalist'; he spent several nights in cold Kenyan cells.[3] His ravaging attacks on Kenya's opposition has created a sharp schism among political protagonists; while the opponents feel that Kuria is a 'loose cannon' who is poised to incite his community against the others, his proponents believe that he is an ardent defender of their interests in the political arena.
