A section of Gatundu South residents is up in arms against Trade, Industry and Investment Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria over an alleged attack on former President Uhuru Kenyatta and the larger Kenyatta family.

The residents on Friday protested recent utterances by Kuria, accusing him of disrespecting the former President and his family, and asking him to cease and desist.

“Mzee ako nyumbani kuangalia watoto wake, na mtoto akiteleza kidogo ni lazima umwambie hiyo sio njia nzuri. Tuko hapa kuambia Kuria kama mtoto wetu kuwa hiyo misemo yake na huo mwendendo wake si mzuri sababu hio si desturi ya Mkikuyu kufanya hivyo,” elder Njuguna Mwaura said.

“Mama Ngina Kenyatta ni kama mama yake na ni mama ya founder of this nation kwa hivyo aachane na huyo kabisa.”

The residents now want Kuria to apologise to the Kenyattas while urging President William Ruto to tame his Cabinet Secretary.

Kuria, while speaking at Gatundu Stadium on Sunday during the Nduuma ya Mt Kenya fete, attacked the ex-President, threatening to storm Kenyatta’s Ichaweri home and relieve himself in public.

The CS further warned the retired Head of State against allegedly sabotaging President William Ruto’s government, asking Kenyatta to respect Ruto.
