Looks like Uhuru is not going to sleep in peace after his remarks in Mombasa yesterday Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri took a walk of defiance in the streets of Nakuru Town clad in white T-Shirt emblazoned ‘Mimi Ni Mshenzi’, accompanied by his supporters.
Uhuru irked Kenyans and Central politicians who criticise him on ignoring them after they turned up in large numbers to vote for him.Speaking at Mama Ngina Drive in Mombasa, Uhuru called those threatening him ‘washenzi’.
“Nitaendelea kuzunguka kila corner ya Kenya na kazi ya maendeleo…kutoka Mombasa hadi Kisumu, Moyale hadi Namanga…hii siasa ya kusema ya kwamba mtu ametoka mahala fulani ati maendeleo itaelekezwa mahala fulani jamani tuwache (I will continue to traverse every corner of Kenya, bringing growth and development; from Kisumu, Moyale, and Namanga. We should stop the belief that development should be channeled towards a particular region because someone comes from there),” he said.
Shortly after cleverly reiterating Uhuru had neglected Central Kenya in his development agenda, Kuria sarcastically acknowledged the term “mshenzi” (idiot) fired by the president in response to his critics in Mombasa on Monday, January 8.
In a response to a tweet by Homa Bay Women Representative Gladys Wanga, Kuria referred to himself as mimi mshenzi (I the idiot) in reference to the tag by Uhuru.
Wanga had tweeted questioning Kuria’s view that Uhuru had neglected his backyard only by commissioning development projects in regions perceived to be strongholds of Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
“Did Moses Kuria only realise no development is going to Central after Uhuru Kenyatta came to Kisumu and Siaya last month? It’s a classic case of a child who stopped breastfeeding running after the mother after a younger sibling is born. Nyanza pia ni Kenya (Nyanza is part of Kenya),” Wanga tweeted.
