Exiled Kenyan Lawyer, Miguna Miguna, has revealed what he says is the truth behind Kiambu gubernatorial candidates William Kabogo and Moses Kuria’s recent altercation with Kenya Kwanza leaders.
The lawyer has accused the two of alleged preference for Azimio la Umoja’s presidential running mate, Martha Karua, over their chosen running mate Rigathi Gachagua due to their 2027 ambitions.
Miguna Miguna said the two political leaders did not care about UDA or William Ruto but were instead purely driven by self-interest.
“William Kabogo and Moses Kuria prefer weak and unpopular Kikuyu running-mates like Martha Karua because of their 2027 ambitions. They consider Rigathi an impediment to the realization of their ambitions. They don’t care about UDA or Ruto,” Miguna said in a tweet.
His solemn accusations come after Kuria and Kabogo wrote a letter to the DP Ruto withdrawing from the Kenya Kwanza campaigns, until matters of alleged mistreatment within the party are resolved.
Kuria and Kabogo of Chama Cha Kazi and Tujibebe Wakenya Parties respectively, refuted the endorsement of UDA gubernatorial candidate Kimani Wamatangi for the Kiambu seat by Gachagua.
The endorsement in front of fellow aspirants sparked altercations between Kabogo and Wamatangi.
The fault lines seem to have grown deeper when during an interview with the media, Moses Kuria’s sentiments were against his party.
“We find this to be dishonest and I find it to be when we talk about the politic of deceit and conman ship which made us run away from Jubilee, I find this more exemplified by what is happening against us in Mt Kenya region as opposed to what we are fighting Jubilee about,” Kuria said.
Kuria and Kabogo further affirmed that Gachagua’s selection as running mate could prove a wrong move for the United Democratic Alliance as it has led them to division, reducing the popularity of the party in Mt Kenya region.
“The selection of Gachagua as the running mate has caused some problems and if we do not say it, then we will be pretending. Many people may fear saying it but it is out there,” Kabogo said.
