Senior advisor in the Council of Economic Advisors, Moses Kuria, has publicly accused Kenya Kwanza allies of betraying the Mt Kenya region by leading its people away from former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

In a statement on Thursday evening, Kuria named Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah, Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire, former Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi, and MP Ndindi Nyoro to be at the centre of what he termed as the region's downfall.

He also named former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and himself as part of those who influenced the region to abandon the former Head of State. "My good friend Rigathi Gachagua.

You, Ichungwa, Ndindi, Mbarire, Linturi, and I lied to Mt Kenya to abandon Uhuru Kenyatta," Kuria said.
