Moses Kuria Slams Raila Over Firing of His Own Ally, Reveals His Role in Uhuru Gov’t

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has dragged Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga into the firing of Nicholas Gumbo as Chair of Kenyatta National Hospital.

The Controversial lawmaker Thursday morning took to his social media pages to question why Raila fired Engineer Gumbo.

Kuria questioned whether Raila feared if Gumbo will floor his brother Oburu Odinga in the 2022 Siaya gubernatorial race. He went ahead to say that Luo Nyanza region won’t take off if Raila continues extinguishing hope inspiring candles like Gumbo.

He further questioned whether Raila cares if Luo Nyanza region takes off or not, arguing that he extinguished Oduol and Siaya has lost a decade under current governor Cornel Rasanga Amoth.

Citing that Raila is President Uhuru Kenyatta’s co-President, Kuria went ahead to advise the former premier to use his powers realising that there is God in heaven.

“Dear Raila Odinga. Why did you fire Eng Nicholas Gumbo as Chair of Kenyatta National Hospital ? How many COVID billions are you expecting at KNH that you want a compliant man ? Or is it because Gumbo will beat Oburu 10-0 for Siaya Governor 2022? When you keep extinguishing hope inspiring candles like Gumbo, how do you expect Luo Nyanza to take off? Or do you even care whether Luo Nyanza takes off or not? You extinguished Oduol and Siaya has lost a decade under Rasanga Amoth. Now another decade you want lost. Yes you are co-President today but use your power realising there is a God in heaven,” read his post.

President Kenyatta appointed George Opondo Ooko as the new Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) board chairperson.

President Kenyatta, in a gazette notice, appointed Mr. Ooko to the position on a two-year term effective April 21, 2020.

The Head of State hence revoked the appointment of Nicholas Gumbo who has been serving as the KNH Board Chair since May last year.
