Moses Kuria Charged With Assaulting Media Personality

Gatundu South Member of Parliament (MP) Moses Kuria, widely recognized for his foul language, shrewd ways and outright lack of decorum, has hit the headlines again for assaulting a female Political Analyst Joyce Wanja.

Moses Kuria reportedly assaulted Joyce Wanja who is also a Media Commentator known by her stage name Wagichungumwa at the Royal media offices.

Joyce Wanja, an activist, alleges that the Gatundu South MP, Moses Kuria, descended on her with slaps and blows while she was on her line of duty preparing to go on air for Inooro TV Kirîrîmbi show.

The activist, Joyce Wanja, recorded a statement at the Kilimani Police Station where she says she can only hope Moses Kuria is not too mighty for justice to be ensured.

However, Moses Kuria remains scot-free despite Joyce Wanja filing charges against the Gatundu South MP.

Four witnesses who were present at the time when Moses Kuria is alleged to have attacked Joyce Wanja of Royal Media Services have come out to say they are ready to testify as they witnessed the MP assault the media personality.
