Moses Kuria thanked Ruto for the birthday wishes, adding that he will remain loyal and not treacherous like some people, in a jibe directed at President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kuria is one of the Mt Kenya leaders who have remained solidly behind Ruto despite being persecuted by the State.

However, he does not see eye to eye with the President and has never shied away from criticizing the Jubilee government in public.
