Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has urged Kenyans to build their “own goons battalions ahead of 2022” if violence witnessed in Kibra during the just concluded mini polls is anything to go by.
Kuria who took to social media to condemn the violence meted upon some Jubilee party politicians during the Thursday by elections expressed is shock in how Kenyans are making fun of the incidents.
While noting that he was not supporting Jubilee candidate McDonald Mariga in the Kibra parliamentary race,Kuria said that Kenyans should give everyone a chance to campaign freely anywhere.
He noted that the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM party leader Raila Odinga was meant to resolve issues such as electoral violence.
He has further noted that the incident in which Dagoreti North MP Simba Arati ordered goons to beat Kimilili MP Didimus Baraza infront of cameras is despicable.
According to the controversial MP, “Since Fred Matiangi and the security system has said nothing about this, I presume it’s fair game and we should all depend on goons not on the police”.
He says the fact that the incidents happened in the handshake bedroom speaks volumes about the “Building Batallions Initiative”, a term he has used to mock the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
He finishes his post by urging Kenyans to build their own goons battalions ahead of 2022 political period.
“I am still in shock that Kenyans are making fun of the violence meted upon Boni Khalwale and Didimus Baraza in Kibra. It is public knowledge that I was NOT supporting McDonald Mariga but we should give everyone a chance to campaign freely anywhere. The handshake was meant to resolve issues such as electoral violence. Simba Arati ordering goons to beat Didimus Baraza infront of cameras is despicable. Since Fred Matiangi and the security system has said nothing about this, I presume it’s fair game and we should all depend on goons not on the police. That this happened in the handshake bedroom speaks volumes about the Building Batallions Initiative. Let’s all build our own goons battalions ahead of 2022,” reads Moses Kuria’s post.
