Gatundu South Member of parliament Moses Kuria is like a sledgehammer that crushes anything on it's path or a double edged sword that cuts from both sides.
In the political landscape, he evokes mixed emotions. A loose cannon that can explode at any time.
To the opposition, he is a hate monger and an irritant, yet to Jubilee sycophants, he is a defender and a retaliatory deadly weapon to shield them from whatever missile is hurled at them by the opposition.
But who exactly is this man? The man who doesn't seem to care about what comes from his mouth? the man who effortlessly courts attention with whatever he utters?
Moses Kuria was born in 1971 in Gatundu and started school at Githuya Primary School where he completed his primary education in 1983 before proceeding to Ituru Secondary school where he sat for his high school exams in 1987.
Kuria was a brilliant young man with exceptional educational ability which earned him admission at the University of Nairobi where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce six years later.
After completing his university education, he secured a job at Standard Chartered Bank in 1995 as the head of business process re-engineering, Africa.
Moses Kuria left the country in late 1999 for a job at Al Rajhi Bank in Saudi Arabia where he met his wife Joyce Njambi with whom they have two sons aged 12 and 10.
2007 was the year when the outspoken Kuria quit the corporate world and ventured into the murky waters of politics when he joined the Party of National Unity (PNU) as director of programs and spokesperson.
In 2014, Kuria was elected Gatundu South MP during a by-election following the death of Hon Jossy Ngugi.
Since then, Moses Kuria has established himself as a controversial politician who will stand at nothing to push his own agenda and defend his "tribe" from those he refers to as "outsiders"
