Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has warned President Uhuru Kenyatta saying that he risked being cursed for supporting ODM leader Raila Odinga for the presidency.

Speaking in Kiambu while accompanying deputy president William Ruto for a series of rallies in the area, Kuria said the president will be cursed for defying an oath taken by the community.

According to Kuria, Presiden Uhuru's father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, and a group of Mt Kenya elders, led the oath.

Kuria added that Mzee Kenyatta was clear to the Mt Kenya region on which political direction they should not take.

The MP added that for Uhuru to defy his father, he has invited a curse.

"Uhuru is going against his father's wish by supporting Raila Odinga and he knows what Kenyatta said. We even took an oath never to support Raila for the presidency and that is why we are backing Ruto," he said.

The Gatundu MP implored the Mt Kenya region not to back Azimio La Umoja saying the DP was the best bet for them.

The DP and a host of Kenya Kwanza leaders are pitching tents in Kiambu where they will hold a series of rallies.

Leaders present include Musalia Mudavadi, ANC leader, Ford Kenya's Moses Wetang'ula, MPs Rigathi Gachagua (Mathira), Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu) among many others.
