A section of Gatundu South residents took to the streets to protest against area MP Moses Kuria's alleged disrespect of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
On Wednesday, December 18, the residents carried placards on which they had scribbled different messages to Kuria, urging him to respect Kenyatta.
"It's going to get worse when you come back!" one Walobwa Justus tweeted. Kuria, who is in Massachusetts, US, retweeted the same tweet which seemingly was a warning to the legislator.
However, other reports alleged that the demonstrators had been paid by Kuria's rivals to demonstrate and cause chaos in Gatundu South.
"Seems like Kieleweke could only pay 20 people for the demos against Kuria. As I always say, a majority of mountain people are busy earning a living silently," one Thuo Kimani argued.
On Wednesday, December 18, media reports alleged that a section of powerful politicians within Kiambu County was orchestrating a move to oust Kuria before 2022.
A rally to drum up support for Kuria's replacement is in the offing, spearheaded by the politicians allied to the head of state.
