Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has denied claims that he incited hooligans disrupt NASA flag bearer Raila Odinga's rally in Thika on Thursday.
Kuria on Friday distanced himself from the violence and said he was \t the coast when the incident occurred.
“I did not plan the Thika violence on Raila...I was in the Coast region at the time, busy snatching votes from Raila. I have convinced a lot of people in this region and they are now supporting Jubilee. The Coast region is now Jubilee," he said.
He noted that the Jubilee team has been conducting its campaigns peacefully and that the NASA leader Raila should follow their exemplary strategies and cease using double standards in their fight against political violence.
“Raila has been speaking about the Kiambu incident only. His Kisumu supporters stoned President Uhuru Kenyatta but he is not speaking about it. He should tell his supporters to stop violence,” Kuria said in Voi during Jubilee campaigns.
