Kajiado ODM offices which were burnt by unknown people. [Photo/Daily Nation] Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has responded to claims by Kajiado Governor David Nkedianye and Kajiado Central MP Elijah Memusi that he had a hand in the torching of ODM offices in the county.
On Tuesday, Nkedianye questioned why the offices got burned a day after Kuria and the Jubilee 'mbele iko sawa' team visited the area on June 30, to campaign for Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Moses Kuria came here and said that ODM would cease to exist in Kajiado. What a coincidence that this arson takes place just a few days to the President’s visit to Kajiado,” said Nkedianye.
"You don’t look for votes by burning people’s offices. They might have burnt the offices but they have not burnt people’s votes,” he added.
In a quick response, Kuria asked ODM Kajiado leaders to concentrate on how they can resurrect their party fortunes in the the county instead of shifting blames.
"From what I saw, the Maasai people have made up their minds. They are in Jubilee. Nkedianye and Memusi are aware of that fact. They are now clutching at straws by trying to bring the ethnic angle,” said Kuria.
“I highly suspect that they burnt their offices to attract sympathy because they know the tide is against them. I said that Memusi has done nothing for the people of Kajiado Central. All he does is follow Raila around the country. I also told them that Nkedianye has also done nothing for the people of Kajiado. That is what the people told me. I don’t live in Kajiado,” added Mr Kuria.
