Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has come to the defence of former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo, claiming that the scuffle witnessed on Wednesday, June 15 during the Kenya Kwanza rally in Kiambu was a plot by the United Democratic Alliance party to embarrass them.

The Kiambu gubernatorial hopeful took to his social media accounts after the event, and expressed his disappointment in the showdown that was witnessed between UDA gubernatorial aspirant Kimani Wamatangi and Kabogo , stating that it was ugly and regrettable.

“For three days, the UDA leadership has been meeting UDA MP and MCA candidates to plot how to embarrass Kabogo and me during the tour,” he said.

"This chicanery is not healthy for our fledgling alliance. It is imperative that we live not only the letter but also the spirit of the Kenya Kwanza alliance, otherwise it will be tantamount to politics of conmanship and deceit," he notedp

Kuria maintained that he would be raising the concerns to the alliance principals as instructed in the alliance instruments to bring an end to the in-fighting witnessed in the formation.
