Kuresoi North Member of Parliament Alfred Mutai has disparaged Molo electorates for storming and burning their MP’s residence, Kuria Kimani, for supporting the unpopular Finance Bill 2024.
The former charcoal burner ex-convict who served a one-month stint at the Nakuru GK Prison also served as Sirikwa Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) before clinching his current post.
The legislator told his constituents during a roadside meet-up that he does not regret voting ‘Yes’ to the Bill.
“Right now, my counterpart from Molo cannot hold a gathering like this. I voted yes for siombi msamaha. I knew that Yes would bring this road, Yes would bring development here.” He explained.
Mutai cautioned Molo constituents that they would regret attacking their MP and opposing the Finance Bill, alleging they would not profit from the development.
“If there is one constituency that has profited significantly, it is Molo’s. Molo has no hazardous roads, and power is available throughout the area. But if trashing their MP’s property is how they pay back, ole wao!” Mutai claimed.
He further stated that if the Molo residents do not want their MP to chair the National Assembly Finance Committee, President Ruto should hand it to him because Kuresoi needs development.
“hand it to the Kuresoi constituency because they are ready for development.” He said.
Mutai warned that the recent cleansing prayers held by clerics at Kuria’s home will have repercussions for the perpetrators.
“We condemn the attack and hope that the cleansing brings justice to those who ruined Kuria’s property. “Why steal chickens and cattle and burn cars?” He questioned.
Kuria Kimani is one of the MPs whose homes and property were attacked and destroyed by furious Kenyans because they supported the Finance Bill.
President William Ruto has subsequently dropped the bill, but he maintains that it was beneficial to the country.
Ruto’s hardline approach shifted after protestors stormed parliament on June 25 and wrecked property, including setting some portions on fire.
