Moses Kuria, an MP from Gatundu South, has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of directing offensive language toward members of the Kieleweke and Tanga Tanga factions within the ruling Jubilee Party. The allegations emerged ahead of a scheduled Jubilee Parliamentary Group meeting at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on Monday.
Kuria shared explicit remarks attributed to the president, including the terms "Shenzi," "Kumanina," and "Wajinga," which he claimed would be directed at senior lawmakers like Hon. Kimani Ngunjiri and Hon. Jayne Kihara, as well as younger representatives such as 24-year-old Hon. John Paul Mwirigi. The remarks were posted on June 20, 2020, in a tweet citing the upcoming meeting as context.
Shenzi! Kumanina! Wajinga! Kama wewe ni mwanaume ongea hapa! Na hauna chochote! These are words we will hear on Monday at the Jubilee PG being said to grandmothers & grandfathers like Hon Kimani Ngunjiri & Hon Jayne Kihara & to 24 year old Hon John Paul Mwirigi in equal measure — NoReferendumBeforeElections (@HonMoses_Kuria) June 20, 2020
