Political Activist Responds to Allegations that He Planned to Kill Robert Alai

In April, blogger Robert Alai claimed his life was in danger. The highly-influential was accusing political activist, Moses Kuria and a controversial lawyer of plotting to kill him over comments he posted on Twitter.

This week, the political activist was finally given a right of reply when he was interviewed by a Nairobian reporter and his answer is quite interesting. Here’s an excerpt of the interview;

JOURNALIST: Some people on social media rejoiced when reports claimed you were among those dead when former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga’s vehicle was sprayed with bullets. Your take?

MOSES KURIA: Yes I died. I am here in hell. JARAMOGI says hi.

JOURNALIST: There are allegations that you are always high on something when you appear on TV debates. True or false?

MOSES KURIA: Yes. I speak under the influence of patriotism. I am always high on my love for this country.

JOURNALIST: There is a voice recording on the internet in which it was purported you said you wanted to kill activist Robert Alai…

MOSES KURIA: I heard it from my good friend called John Mututho. He told me Robert Alai claimed I wanted to kill him, and he wanted Sh300,000 from me. Who has got time to kill Alai? When people are broke they should engage in real work, not conmanship.

Well…
