Hours after ODM leader Raila Odinga broke his silence on circumcision remarks made by Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, the outspoken legislator has urged his critics to stop throwing stones at him.

In his recent remarks, Kuria upheld that he has nothing personal against Odinga and the Luo community stating that he only referred to an ancient oath administered at founding Kenya’s president Jomo Kenyatta.

“I was only referring to a 1969 oath that was administered before I was born and whose details can be given by Captain Kungu Muigai, nephew to Jomo Kenyatta in whose homestead the oath was administered by Kungu’s father James Gitoki Muigai. Rev John Gatu, the late Njenga Karume referred to the same oath,” a section of his Facebook post read.

Kuria urged his critics to learn history as it has current political impact in the country.

“To all those villifying me I say this, these historical accidents explain so much of what is happening today then you wonder why. Throwing stones at me is not the wise thing to do. Trying to learn something from what I am saying is more helpful,” he added.

Kuria was responding to Odinga who had earlier in the day accused him of resorting to abuses by painting the image of some communities in bad light.

The former Prime Minister who spoke in Western region when he started his four-day campaign to neutralise the gains made by Kenya Kwanza Alliance on Friday stated that those who claim he is uncircumcised have exemplified disrespect to communities that culturally do not undergo the cut.

“Those abusing me are not only directing the insults at the Luo community but all the other communities that do not undergo the cut. They simply want to say those communities cannot lead,” said Odinga.
