We hope to start putting in place equipment worth Ksh100 Million in July. Soon our students will start undergoing very specialized training including oil drilling and a seafarers course. Ni wakati wa kazi,” read Kuria’s post in part.Residents lauded Kuria’s leadership style, and thanked him for initiating various projects in the constituency.Here are some of their reactions:"For the first time in the history of mankind we have a central Kenya MP working for the Kikuyu people," Kimani Mwangi said."May GOD bless you and protect you sir, continue developing Gatundu from stima, market, KMTC and now technical training. I wish you are my member of parliament," Njoroge Samwuel said."The only things we hear from your fellow MPs is roads, roads, roads as if tomorrow we shall wake up and get a bite of the tarmacked section to convert it into a monetary item. Give knowledge and its benefit shall outlast its owner. Kudos," Mike Kim said."This is very true the market is full of bosses. Nowadays getting a plumber or electrician to fix stuff in the house it's hard and also expensive. Youths should take advantage of such opportunities. Good job mheshimiwa," Mary Githemo commented.“When it comes to matters economic development, I can bet to my last coin, no one beats Moses Kuria. He is a brilliant mind who should be in the treasury advising the clueless guy in charge. However, when it comes to political mud, Moses Kuria rolls thru it and emerges the dirtiest,” posted Edwin Mogambi.“Great move mhesh kindly on top of the 30k ya government kindly give Gatundu south some bursery frm c.d.f so that they can join it to get some skills. It pains me to see so many youths idle in gatundu south whereas all the plumbers,masons,carpenters n other artisans are aging up!very soon we wil be importing such skills from other counties,” said Bonie En.“Well done continue setting the pace. Job well done,” said Alex Wachira.“200% behind you my role model Mr Moses Kuria,” posted Rashid Sarai.
