Bonface Mwangi Savagely Attacks Gor Mahia Fans. Find Out Why Moses Kuria Has Been Dragged Into This Too
Gor Mahia fans are arguably the most controversial fans in Africa thanks to their heroics whenever their favourite club is playing. They will throw stones, cause disturbance around town and do anything weird to stamp their authority.
However, this very controversial group is on the receiving end of a quarrel from activist Boniface Mwangi who has taken issue with their hypocrisy.
Boniface has bashed Gor fans for how they treated controversial MP Moses Kuria when Gor Mahia was facing Azam FC over the weekend in the Cecafa Kagame Cup finals.
Kuria was among the Kenyan crowd that descended in Dar es Salaam for the game, with Gor fans giving him a warm welcome as he donned their jersey.
It can be remembered that Moses Kuria is having cases in court for hate speech, and most of his hate is directed to majority of the fans who hail from the Luo community.
Boniface wondered why the fans embraced the controversial MP, saying they did so because he came with handouts for their team.
Boniface said:
Kenyan Hypocrisy
The rich man’s fart doesn’t smell. On Sunday 2nd,August 2015, Moses Kuria flew to Tanzania to watch the Gor Mahia Vs Azam game. Nothing special for a Kenyan to go watch a football match, except Moses Kuria is no ordinary Kenyan. He is the poster boy for hate speech in Kenya. His utterances have largely been against a community who arguably make up the largest percentage of Gor Mahia’s primary fans and he has two ongoing cases for hate speech. Never mind that he is a member of parliament who was elected unopposed because the president’s party wanted an attack dog against the opposition.
Moses Kuria’s support for Gor was celebrated by the usual twitter trolls. The paid twitter brigade retweeted images of Moses wearing a Gor T-shirt. Why was there so much excitement that a hate-monger was going to watch the game? Well, he was carrying a package of Ksh 500,000 for the cash strapped football team on behalf of Deputy President Ruto. Just because messenger Moses was carrying money, his hate speech stench was ignored.
On a daily basis Kenyans complain of corrupt politicians who steal and grab land but don’t question where the handouts politicians give us come from.
President Obama, whose visit we celebrated and whose speeches we lauded, is not known for his philanthropy or contributions to fundraisers. He was elected by young people who donated their own money to his campaign, trusting his vision for transformation. Kenya needs leaders who will create wealth for the people and provide jobs, not handouts.
Handouts by politicians is not leadership but a sad trickle refund of what they have stolen from the Kenyan taxpayers. We need to stop taking or celebrating these handouts. #StopTheHypocrisy
