Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has denied claims that he is part of a team of leaders within Jubilee Party that is pushing for the removal of President Uhuru Kenyatta's allies within the party's top ranks.
Kuria in a WhatsApp exchange with a journalist on Wednesday said he can't be part of such a plan as he is out to ensure Jubilee Party remains unified ahead of the 2022 general election.
In the WhatsApp conversation, Kuria tells the journalist who works for Standard Group that she (the journalist) is being used by a Jubilee politician to scuttle the party by demanding that party Secretary General Raphael Tuju and party Chairman David Murathe are ejected from the party because they were not elected.
"You are part of the cartel being used by a certain Jubilee official through one of ex-Standard Group senior editors to target some leaders like myself," Kuria said in a message to the scribe.
The journalist, Roselyne Obala had tasked Kuria to clarify claims that he is pushing for the Jubilee Party to conduct elections where a secretary-general and a chairman will be elected from the party's current MPs.
The conversation published on Kuria's Facebook page comes three days after it emerged that Deputy President William Ruto's point-men within the party were pushing for the removal of Tuju and Murathe.
