Chama Cha Kazi party leader Moses Kuria has accused the UDA party of playing politics of conmanship against their Kenya Kwanza coalition partners.

Speaking on Sunday, Kuria said the Deputy President William Ruto-led party was sidelining other parties within Kenya Kwanza in the planning of campaigns with Mt Kenya region.

The Gatundu South MP noted that in some of these meetings, UDA leaders plot against their partners from the region.

"When it comes to events in Mt Kenya, organisation meetings are held exclusively by UDA and we are thrown out. For me its sad and strange. to make matters worse, aspirants from UDA are warned from associating with me or Governor Kabogo which truly is against the spirit of the alliance," Kuria said on Citizen TV.

He added, "We find this to be dishonest and I find it to be when we talk about the politic of deceit and conmanship which made us run away from Jubilee, I find this more exemplified by what is happening against us in Mt Kenya region as opposed to what we are fighting Jubilee about."

The Kiambu gubernatorial candidate said that Kenya Kwanza seems like a nuisance to some people with the United Democratic Alliance party.

He particularly pointed out Kenya Kwanza Alliance's presidential running mate Rigathi Gachagua for endorsing UDA candidate for governor, while in the company of other governor hopefuls from parties within their alliance.

Kuria noted that in normal circumstances they would have meetings to plot against Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance, who are their competitors.

"All was well but what we saw this week, the likes of Kimani Ichungwah, the likes of Alice Ng'ang'a directly warning MCAs from associating with Moses Kuria and Kabogo," the Chama Cha Kazi leader stated.

"When we go out there with Rigathi Gachagua for example, my very good friend and very close ally and all he says is mtachagua huyu governor wa UDA Kimani wa Matangi and he sees me there, what am I supposed to do. Give him flowers?" 

Last week, Kuria and Kabogo wrote to DP Ruto protesting mistreatment within the Kenya Kwanza coalition.

The two leaders said they had withdrawn from joint campaigns with UDA until they have an audience with the DP and have the matters at hand resolved.
