Political analyst Martin Andati has ruled Gatundu South MP out of the much anticipated presidential race, in the fast-approaching 2022 general elections.
The vocal MP has insisted that he will be in the race to succeed sitting president and his constituent, Uhuru Kenyatta, though he is yet to identify his party of choice.
But speaking on Monday, Andati said that Kuria should not be given any serious attention as far as the race is concerned, terming him a comedian who will soon step aside.
"Moses Kuria ni mwanasarakasi tu, asichukuliwe kwa umakini (Moses Kuria should not be taken seriously, he is just joking around)," noted the commentator.
Andati who also doubles up as a governance expert was speaking on 'Bunge La Maisha' show on Radio Maisha.
He termed Kuria as one of the victims of Uhuru's 2018 truce with opposition leader Raila Odinga, as he had made it his main job to attack and insult Raila for political mileage.
The analyst observed that with the political calm and the friendship between the two leaders, Kuria has found himself quite jobless and is, therefore, seeking other avenues to remain relevant.
"Kazi yake ilikuwa kutukana Raila kila siku lakini sasa hana kazi baada ya Raila kusalimiana na Rais. Sasa anatafuta njia badala za kujiweka siasani.
(He is simply looking for other ways to remain politically relevant after the truce ended his survival tact)," added the commentator.
Kuria had initially hinted that he will contest under the Democratic Party (DP) ticket but was immediately disowned by the party leadership.
