Source: Facebook On Monday, at the unveiling of the Aggregation Industrial Park in Ruiri Rwarera Ward, the CS declared, "Merus have a hobby of violence," a remark that irritated the leaders. “I thought violence is a hobby for Merus, and so violence and hobby will go on," said Kuria. The leaders, led by Meru parliamentary caucus chairman Mugambi Rindikiri, claimed the CS loathed them and wondered if he was there on official business or to disrespect them. “Deputy President we want to send you, tell him that is a provocation of the highest order, if our people can come to insult us, how will our enemies live?” Rindikiri said. The MPs stated that all they want from Kuria is an apology. They urged the CS to stay out of Meru politics. The leaders asked Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to ensure the message reached him in good time.
