Moses Kuria Cries Foul After Being Denied a VIP Podium at Uhuru’s Meeting, Shown Where to Sit in The Sun

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria is crying foul after being denied a VIP treat at President Uhuru Kenyatta’s meeting with Mt Kenya leaders at Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri on Friday.

Kuria has expressed his disappoint in the meeting, terming it a flop and a waste of time.

The MP who flew from Nairobi on a chopper to attend the meeting has told the Sunday Standard that those who spoke were predetermined and had been told what to say thus negating any effort at unity.

“Which unity are we talking about? I flew from Nairobi on a chopper, when I got to Sagana I was shown where to sit on the grass in the sun as if one needs to be shown where to sit in an open space. The meeting flopped,” said the Gatundu South MP.

Mr Kuria who had arrived in a chopper after the President was not even allowed into the VIP podium.

Tigania West MP John Mutunga who arrived late was also barred from the red carpet area even as Igembe North’s Maoka Maore who arrived after him was rushed through the red carpet and given a strategic sitting position.
