Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has finally come out to speak on his relationship with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The MP dismissed speculations that Uhuru was angry with him and that their relationship had turned sour.
Speaking during an interview on Hot 96 FM on Monday, Kuria noted his relationship with the Jubilee Party leader, who hails and votes in Gatundu South, was still intact.
Asked whether he has talked with the President this year, Kuria responded: "Yes, I do. I talk to my voters frequently."
He further hit out at his critics who accuse him of undermining the presidency, saying it was his duty as an MP to oversight the government.
"It is wrong to think every time I say something, I'm fighting the government," he remarked.
Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of sidelining Central Kenya in terms of development.
This comes after the outspoken MP accused the Head of State of using residents in his backyard as voting machines since he was taking projects to opposition zones.
"I want to say this, as we come to the end of 2019, I want you to think seriously about your habit of voting in large numbers only to end up missing out on development projects," said Kuria.
The comments caused a storm in the region reaching to a point where Kikuyu elders came out to distance themselves with Kuria, whom they accused of inciting residents against the Head of State.
Even local politicians led by Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and former presidential contenders Martha Karua and Peter Kenneth demanded the MP issue an apology.
Kuria later apologised over his remarks which he said were in no way meant to disrespect Uhuru.
"If any word that I might have uttered could have been misconstrued in any bad way, I offer my profuse apologies to the Head of State and to anyone else [who is aggrieved]," he said during an event in his constituency.
Speaking in Mombasa a few days later, the President termed leaders calling for development only in areas they represent as 'washenzi'.
The backlash Kuria received led to speculations that Uhuru was angry with him and that their relationship had turned sour.
