We shall use live bullets on stone throwers- Moses Kuria responds after Wamalwa's incident

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has threatened they will use live bullets on stone throwers. Kuria made this remarks in a post on his Facebook page after Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa was pelted with stones during the Maragoli Cultural Festival at Mbale grounds in Vihiga County.

Mr. Wamalwa motorcade came under attack when he arrived at the event at around 3 pm as Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi was addressing the crowd. Angry youths ordered that the CS leave even as Mr. Mudavadi tried to calm them down.

The youths said that the event would not go on until ‘Jubilee’ left.

The CS was led away from the dais by Central Organisation for Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli, Mudavadi, and several other leaders.

According to Mudavadi, Eugene had come uninvited to the event. He said the latter should have consulted other Jubilee leaders from the region, who conspicuously skipped the event.

Leaders from the area condemned the act by Wamalwa’s security detail who shot in the air in attempts to disperse the mob.

The happening raised reactions from Kenyans including a response from Moses Kuria. He started by accusing Mudavadi of organizing the commotion.

Here is Kuria’s post on his Facebook account;

He later threatened that the Government would use live bullets on any person who threw stones.
