Moses Kuria defends 'stop begging' comments made to Gor Mahia as 'patriotic'

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has been trending after comments he made to Gor Mahia on Monday to stop begging for money.

The legislator congratulated Gor Mahia for winning the Premier League having humiliated their bitter rivals AFC Leopards to a 2-0 win on Saturday.

The performance saw them lift their 17th unprecedented SportPesa Premier League title.

"Congratulations my boys K'Ogalo for clinching KPL 2018. Now we have three major headaches to overcome," Kuria said on Facebook.

Kuria challenged the club’s management to come up with permanent solutions of ending their consistent financial challenges.

"...always begging for money for air tickets despite our mighty brand and getting a serious challenger at the local level, Viva," Kuria, who is a K’Ogalo fan, said.

The Gatundu South MP asked the players to also qualify for the quarter-finals at the continental levels and not only locally as they have previously done.

It appears Kenyans reaction have got his attention. The vocal Mp, who enroute to the USA to address Kenyans on the handshake among other issues, has updated and defended his comments saying:

Landed in Amsterdam to find myself trending about a simple patriotic comment I made about , a club I have loyally supported for 3 decades. Really? Proves me right that Gor is a big brand that deserves better. If all the trollers could be forced to buy a Gor jersey!
