Blogger Edgar Obare has been entertaining Kenyans with unverified 'tea' on his Instagram Stories.
Obare shares a link where his followers can send anonymous messages, and the MP was one of the prominent figures featured.
Is Njoroge Kururia a deadbeat dad?
A woman claimed that she is his baby mama, and he does not provide. The anonymous messages help protect the identity of the people sending the 'tea.'
"I have a child with Kururia MP, and he does not help me," she wrote.
Kururia took to his Facebook page to blast the lady, questioning whether women give birth to leverage financial support from the men.
"Ooh, mnazaanga na wanaume ndio msaidiwe? ("Oh, you have kids with men so they can provide for you?)."

He questioned whether he was to help the child or the mother. He rhetorically asked whether he was the lady's father to help her.
"So juu nimezaa na wewe, nimekuwa babako ndio nikusaidie? ama mimi ni baba mtoto? (Just because I have a child am I your father to give you financial help or am I the father of the child? )."
Kururia distastefully asked the woman to take the kid to a children's home if she was tired of taking care of the child.
He also gave her the option of putting out a paybill.
“If you can’t take care of mine, take him to a children’s home or give him to women who don’t have kids. Or set up a paybill and let the whole country contribute.”
Netizens react to Kururia's outburst
A section of Kenyans criticised the MP’s remarks, terming them disrespectful and unbecoming of a leader.
Erick Mwania:
"When is the next men conference?"
Judith Nyaboke:
"Those words from a leader, wah."
Rose Warui:
"Wee nashukulu mungu huyu wangu ni wa mjenga but ana makingi sure watoto wake wako sawa, thanks baba watoto."
Judith Symons:
"Good answer munazaa na wanaume to trap them you will cry louder than the baby,wanaume wametosheka na watoto wao."
Kosasia Hellen:
"Wacha aulize Baba ya salasia. Sai ndo ameanza kujitokeza eti anafanana na salasya but tunakemea hiyo pepo."
Hussna Haddasha
"Why is he bravely responding that way?... he knows something that we don't know."
Did Philip Kimani reject Kururia's money?
In other news, a gospel musician, Philip Kimani, turned down money from Kururia.
Kururia had asked his followers to vote between two gospel ministers, Sarah K and Kimani, to receive the money.
The politician has rallied several friends including politicians, businessmen and women to come up with the KSh 1 million.
