“I have received attacks from leaders who are taking advantage of what I said to advance their political careers,” he added.

Kuria has apologized to President Uhuru Kenyatta saying his remarks were not directed to him but to Kiambu County leaders.

“I offer my unmatched apology to the President whom I have worked with and respect so much,” Mr Kuria said.

“I have no problem with him launching projects in any part of this country,” he declared.

The lawmaker further said his gripe was directed at the County Government of Kiambu for delaying development projects; and not the State Executive, saying President Kenyatta had played his part by allocating funds to the devolved unit.
