Editor's Review

MP Moses Kuria has said he has taken judicial notice on those propagating the narrative.

Gatundu South Moses Kuria has expressed his reservation against a section of people wishing him death and linking him to the disappearance and death of former IEBC ICT manager Chris Msando.

MP Kuria, who is ailing after sustaining third-degree burns on his foot, in a tweet said he has taken judicial notice on those propagating the narrative.

He added that he will respond to the sentiments when another community makes a similar remark.

"I have taken judicial notice of all those wishing me death and associating me with Chris Musando. I will respond when those comments come from more than one community in Kenya," he tweeted.

Judicial notice is a rule in the law of evidence that allows a fact to be introduced into evidence if the truth of that fact is well known beyond a reasonable doubt.

Kuria's tweet came minutes after former IEBC Commissioner Roselyn Akombe insinuated that his current woes are payback for what he did to the late Msando.

In a reaction to a media report that said the MP was set for an 8th surgery, Akombe wrote: "vengeance is the Lord's. Continue resting in peace Msando".

The Gatundu MP has been blamed for the mysterious disappearance of Msando after he shared a picture of him beside the Former IEBC Officer's car at the time he had gone missing.

Msando was later discovered dead at City Mortuary with police saying his body was found a thicket in Kikuyu.

The body of a woman who was in the company of Msando hours before he went missing was also found in the same thicket.

His death was linked to the controversial 2017 polls.

Opposition leaders then, led by the ODM leader Raila Odinga, claimed the ICT boss was assassinated to enable compromisation of the polls because he had refused to play ball. 

MP Kuria picture besides Msando's car became the subject of several inquiries by Kenyans on social media with some saying the MP could have had a hand in his death.

The Gatundu MP has, however, on several occasions denied any involvement in the matter.

Years later, the police are yet to crack the whip on who was behind Msando's death.
