Was Moses Kuria Arrested Over Ballot Claims? Recent News Bring A Different Light On The Politician

Gatundu South Member of Parliament of Kenya, Moses Kuria, is again at the center of attention after claiming that his opposition party was rigging the election.

The recent claims of the politician have also brought to light his former arrest in 2020 and made the candidate lose his credibility as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations summoned him for spreading false allegations.

Let us learn more about the Kenyan politician, his arrest details, ballot fraud claims, and allegations, along with his running mate.

What Was The Reason For Moses Kuria’s Arrest?

Moses Kuria’s political life has been very controversial, with his arrest for assaulting a woman in 2020 to now making allegations of voter fraud dragging even the President’s name in the alleged conspiracy.

Moses got arrested in 2020 for assaulting a woman named Joyce Wanja at the Royal Media Services Studio with claims of kicking and punching the woman.

According to reports, Joyce was an activist working as a media commentator who wanted the MP to redact the claims and statements he made against women in one of his former speeches.

Moses accused women of wearing dirty underwear and spoke about women in a demeaning way. When the commentator asked him to retract his statements against women, he attacked her instead.

In a video, the victim stated, “Whatever he said about women was demeaning, and made remarks in the presence of children, that is why I told him to rethink and retract them, but instead he attacked me.”

His actions resulted in the Gatundu South MP getting arrested on counts of assault, and four witnesses at the Studio testified against the MP for the case of assault.

Ballot Claims Of The Governor Elections Candidate

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria stood candidacy for the Kiambu Gubernatorial elections but is now making claims of ballot fraud during the election.

The politician has come under a lot of heat from the public and fellow politicians for using underhanded methods to divide the public of Kenya during elections. Moses did not report the fraud to the authorities; instead claimed his Facebook, saying,

“Top alert! Forty trucks with marked ballot papers will leave State Lodge Nakuru to various destinations in the next 20 minutes. Media, public, please stop them. Most of them have GK registration numbers.”

The claim caught the attention of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. They summoned the politician to investigate the claim further and asked him to report to the nearest police station to record a statement.

Moses Kuria’s Female Running Mate For The Election

Despite his former controversies, Moses Kuria, looking down upon women, has a female running mate for the Kiambu Gubernatorial named Faith Mwaura. Faith is a competent running mate for the candidate since she has a bachelor’s in commerce and a master’s in Real Estate from Scotland.

Moses revealed that his running mate would be significant in the long run for his leadership as he plans to focus on the real estate sector during his term as governor.

There were talks of his running mate dumping Kuria for another candidate, but Mwaura denied all the allegations and stood by Moses’ side during the election campaigns.
