Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has slammed the opposition saying it is not committed to the country’s peace ahead of the forthcoming 2017 general elections.
The MP claims that the Raila Odinga led opposition is does not peace of the country.
Speaking at AIPCA Theological college in Gatundu South during a church service on Sunday, Kuria said that the move by the opposition to boycott the meeting organised Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) last week to discuss peaceful 2017 general elections is a clear indication that Raila and his team do not value the country’s peace.
The MP said that politicians whether in Cord or Jubilee must come forward and commit to peaceful elections.
“It is unfortunate that our brothers and sisters in opposition don’t value peace and can arrogantly snub an important meeting called to chart the way for peaceful 2017 elections,” he said during the service.
Kuria asked Kenyans not to be swayed into violence by selfish politicians. He said that the country belongs to Kenyans and not politicians.
The vocal MP asked the opposition to soften their hard stand and work with the government on peace ahead of the 2017 general elections.
A section of Jubilee politicians has castigated the opposition for boycotting conference organised by KEPSA and attended by top government officials in Kwale last week.
The opposition failed to attend the meeting saying that it was not properly consulted.
It (the opposition) accused KEPSA of being bias and favouring the ruling government claims that private sector organisation refuted.
The KEPSA meeting brought together top government agencies and discussed way forward for peaceful 2017 general elections.
