Kuria had said that President Uhuru Kenyatta had proven that NYS was doing well following a series of reforms until he brought on board a woman. The remarks which were seen to target Waiguru angered several leaders from different factions.

Nandi Hills Member of Parliament Alfred Keter is among those who came forth with their guns blazing after the incident.
"Moses Kuria just referred to a woman leader as a ***. Leadership shouldn't lose its meaning this fast for the sake of pleasing presidential hopefuls. Dignity must reign," he posted.
