On August 24, 2021, Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria spoke out against the state of affairs within Deputy President William Ruto's brigade, after reportedly being labelled a mole.
Speaking in Kigumo, Murang'a County, Kuria questioned how he could be a mole for an outgoing President who has expressed his desire to leave office after the 2022 General Election.
He noted that those pointing fingers at him within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) outfit ought to change the conversation.
"I'm not going to stand here and allow someone to accuse me of being deep state. President Uhuru Kenyatta pronounced that he's going home. So how can I be deep state for someone who is going home? Let's change the conversation," Kuria stated.
Kuria also claimed the bragging rights for UDA's recent success in the Kiambaa by-elections, stating that the party would not have gained victory were it not for his intervention.
He pointed out that the UDA outfit had a debt to pay for the Kiambaa by-elections victory and should support his candidate in the next by-elections.
The wrangles between Kuria and the UDA outfit have been boiling over in the recent past, with the fallout playing out in Ruto's recent Parliamentary Group meeting.
