Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has trolled Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula for not getting a direct ticket to defend his seat despite being a Nasa alliance Principal.
In a post, Kuria on Sunday said Wetangula is getting a raw deal in the Opposition unlike most other politicians in the alliance.
"Dear Moses Masika Wetangula. First, you gave up on your Presidential ambitions and handed over the mantle to Joshua. Nothing new or odd for a Moses to hand over to a Joshua. "
"Then they promised you a goat gizzard in the name of Deputy Premier CS or whatever that inexistent nonsense means. Then they sent you to defend your Bungoma Senatorial seat. Now they have also cleared Boniface Wayne Nyongesa to run against you on an ODM ticket. Raila gives a direct ticket to Kidero, Orengo even Tom Kajwang but still sends someone to vie against you. And you still call yourself Principal? Pengine wa Sirisia Girls School."
Bonny Nyongesa will be challenging Wetangula for the Senate seat after he clinched the ODM party ticket in the primaries.
Two weeks ago Ford Kenya party officials said Wetang'ula will defend his seat as Bungoma senator on the Ford Kenya ticket.
Wetang'ula had been lined up for the proposed seat of deputy prime minister in the power-sharing deal that has been deposited at the Registrar of Political Parties.
The Senator is one of the five Principals in the Nasa alliance that seeks to beat President Uhuru in the August general elections.
