Gatundu MP Moses Kuria has claimed that President Uhuru must be pleased with the violence against Ruto in Kondele, Kisumu County.
In a social media post, Moses Kuria insinuated that President Uhuru Kenyatta rejoices when violence is meted against his opponents.
He says that the Head of State enjoyed the scenes from the Kibra by-elections in 2019, where there was violence against Ruto allies.
“After the violence in Kibra by-election, we had a Mt Kenya meeting at Sagana. President Uhuru Kenyatta appeared to have somehow enjoyed the violent show in Kibra and actually made fun of it.
The Handshake was all about a culture of tolerance and political decency or so we were told. But I am sure wherever Uhuru Kenyatta is, he must be laughing and having a blast looking at the videos from Kondele,” Moses Kuria wrote.
His comments comes after William Ruto’s motorcade was stoned on Wednesday, November 10 during his tour of Raila Odinga’s backyard.
The Kisumu violence against William Ruto has attracted the attention of his allies and opponents in the political space.
Many have condemned the actions, calling for political tolerance as the country nears the 2022 General Election.
However, a statement from the National Police Service states that Ruto went to the troublesome Kondele area despite being warned about it.
Police Spokesperson Bruno Shioso says that there was fracas in Kondele before William Ruto arrived.
He said that the commotion was caused by some of William Ruto supporters, who were said to be dividing campaign funds.
“During the rally, violence erupted amongst the local agitated groups who engaged in stone-throwing and other unruly behavior,” Bruno Shioso said.
In the event Police were forced to lob teargas to disperse who had blocked the Deputy President’s convoy at the Kondele Roundabout.
