Moses Kuria Attacks Uhuru Again After BBI Speech in Washington

There is no break in sight for president Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, and their Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), as long as the defiant team Tangatanga sticks around.

Heated BBI politics followed the two political giants to the US, where they were invited to preach their unity message ahead of Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast and Uhuru’s meeting with President Donald Trump.

This is after Gatundu South MP, Moses Kuria, took to social media, to once again mock the BBI process, shortly after Uhuru delivered his keynote speech, on the motive behind the undertaking, during the Atlantic Council forum on Wednesday.

Referring to Uhuru’s statement, that the BBI was Kenya’s solution for the incessant culture of electoral disputes during polls, Kuria sarcastically corrected the head of state, asserting that the only solution for this menace would be for poll losers to concede defeat, subtly referring to Odinga.

The witty legislator noted that even in nations that practiced similar structures to those proposed under the BBI, cases of political instability were still rampant, such as in Lebanon, whose former prime minister was dramatically assassinated in a truck bomb.

”Lebanon has the most ‘inclusive’ political system in a heterogeneous society. That did not stop them from killing Rafiq Hariri,” Kuria stated, before viciously tearing into the BBI process.

”The only solution and roadmap to political stability is winners forming government and losers accepting defeat, not this mongrel called hybrid to create some utopian phantom garden of Eden,” he sarcastically remarked.

Kuria has been at the forefront of anti-BBI campaigns since the March 2018 handshake between Uhuru and Raila, maintaining that the only motive of the entire truce, between the two leaders, was for the latter to ascend to power after Uhuru’s exit in 2022.

Uhuru and Raila, however, insist that their sole aim for the handshake was to end the violent political culture in the country, corruption, among other ills the nation has for years struggled to eliminate.
