MP Moses Kuria Starts Walking Again After 4 Months in the Hospital, 10 Surgeries
Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has start walking again following an accident that paralyzed his legs.
Kuria has invited his friends and supporters for a walk at Kite Beach in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates on February 5th to witness as he walks independently for the first time in 136 days.
The vocal MP, who has been in hospital since September last year, says only 200 persons will be allowed into the venue due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Kuria sustained third-degree burns on his feet in September 2021 after an electric mat he was using to ease numbness in his feet malfunctioned.
Having considered all options, including amputating his feet, his medical team advised him to undergo a rare stem cell surgery at the Dubai American Hospital.
“It was a difficult decision. There were no cases to compare with either in UAE or in Kenya. After consulting with my family, I finally took a leap of faith and agreed to the surgery,” Kuria says.
“Thanks to God Almighty and my wonderful team at the American Hospital, I can now walk again.”
Following the incident, the politician has undergone 10 surgeries in Kenya and abroad in a bid to regain his ability to walk.
Kuria said he purchased the electric therapeutic mat from Nairobi-based company Ceragem Limited for Sh250,000 through a friend.
“A friend of mine convinced me to use a gadget which to my knowledge I thought was authorized. This gadget happened to do some slow-burning of my feet. I was trying to cure a problem by introducing a killer solution. I went home at night and my feet just exploded,” Kuria said during an interview from his hospital bed in October.
The MP has vowed to sue Ceragem Limited after it emerged that the company is not licensed by the Kenya Pharmacy and Poisons Board.

POLITICS & KENYANS’ DEEP ROOTED NEGATIVITY ASIDE PLEASE!
Regaining your ability to walk is short of a miracle with 3rd degree burns on a diabetic! Congratulations sir & thanks to all the stems-cells research team! Stems cells related treatment is going to save lives! So far a first type 1 diabetic has been fully cured with it!
Pole sana. I hope you have learned one thing or two. Never celebrate in other people misery like the way you did in Musando death and never steal CDF money....."And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose".
Mkabila Wewe. Been good not to hear your BS for a while. That being said, heal up.
I hope this is a lesson learned.
Kuria has not learned anything! He attacked Uhuru and he paid the price with burned feet! DP Ruto helped him to buy the fault blanket with money stolen from poor Kenyans! There is nothing as bad as the curse of theft! God punctured his foot to make sure he does not steal more CDF money before leaving the MP seat! A bad situation will happen to DP Ruto for stealing!
Quick recovery Mheshimiwa.
God's favour endures perpetually, you must keep going mheshi, you are strong then you know.🌹🌹🌹
Huyu ana hakika hana ukimwi ati gadget sema ukweli tu
Beer and diabetes are the cause of his problems.
He should stop drinking beer and his problems will reduce.
Pole mheshimiwa quick recovery
