Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria cried foul after a billboard that he paid for promoting the UDA candidate for the Kiambaa by-election John Njuguna Wanjiku.
Moses Kuria took to social media to share his laments following his billboard getting pulled down after the owner of the land where the billboard was erected disapproved the billboard altogether.
The billboard that had the portraits of Moses Kuria, Deputy President William Samoei Ruto, and the Kiambaa UDA candidate John Njuguna Wanjiku was erected around Village Market in Ruaka.
According to Moses Kuria, the said owner disapproved his billboard because she’s a relative to the President and her allegiance is with Uhuru Kenyatta and doesn’t agree with UDA which is opposing the President
In a nutshell, she doesn’t approve of what the billboard was marketing, so it had to get pulled down, which as a ripple effect caused the outspoken legislator to speak out on social media against the move.
“I paid for this billboard next to Village Market in cash. It is operated by Livead. The owner of the land where it is located has ordered that it be removed.” Moses Kuria said in part on social media.
Moses Kuria disclosed that the billboard which he paid for getting pulled down really hurt him.
“She says she is a relative of President Uhuru Kenyatta and therefore She can not allow that billboard on her land. Should I vomit the Brookside milk I took for breakfast?.
The President is a respector of private businesses. We should separate business from politics. This hurts. It’s very wrong”
UDA is set to go head-to-head with Jubilee’s candidate Karanja Kariri Njama in the Kiambaa by-election scheduled for July 15, 2021.
The upcoming Kiambaa by-elections will attract a lot of eyeballs with most people keen to know if UDA will triumph over the ruling party Jubilee after Moses Kuria’s People’s Empowerment Party (PEP) won the Juja by-elections in may.
