Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has undergone a remarkable transformation from a firebrand politician to a voice of reason, leaving many in the corridors of power wondering if he's being groomed for a bigger role in Kenyan politics.
Published on August 10, 2019, Kuria's transformation has been a subject of discussion, with many speculating that he might be one of the possible next Mt. Kenya Kingpin as the Uhuru succession battle heats up.
During a recent tour of Gilgil, Kuria urged Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga to tone down their personal attacks against each other, saying that the differences between the two leaders were the cause of the rising political temperature in the country.
“Every day in the news it’s all about Ruto and Raila as Kenyans continue to suffer. It’s time we forgot about the two,” he said.
Kuria noted that poverty levels in the country had risen sharply, yet leaders continued to bicker without offering solutions to the citizens.
“We have years to go before the next general elections but Kenyans are waking daily to politics from their leaders instead of development,” he said.
As a member of Team Wanjiku, Kuria and other leaders are committed to uniting all the communities in the country and addressing the economic challenges facing them.
