Moses Kuria, the former Public Service Cabinet Secretary, has shared insights into the challenges he has faced since his dismissal from the Cabinet.
In a remarkable decision, President William Ruto declared the immediate dissolution of his Cabinet during a press conference on July 12, attributing this significant action to ongoing anti-government protests. READ FULL STORY
Ruto expressed his desire to conduct thorough consultations aimed at establishing a more inclusive government capable of effectively tackling national concerns.
In an interview conducted on August 12, the candid politician disclosed that the frequency of his phone calls had significantly diminished.
Kuria noted that he was tempted to take his phone to a repair service, suspecting it might be malfunctioning.
Nevertheless, he emphasized that such experiences are part of the life of a national public servant, which encompasses both advantages and disadvantages.
“Other than this show from morning to evening, I have just been minding my business. The calls have dried up. Twice I have had the temptation of taking the phone to the fundi, nini mbaya. No calls
“You know, sometimes when you are somewhere in the past in a show like this, you know that the calls that are coming in are like this. Now you wonder, ala, is this a recorded show or a love show? But it is okay you know life is an experience; we need all that. It is not easy,” he stated.
As earlier reported on EAFeed, Kuria hilariously reacted to the nomination of new CSs to Ruto’s administration.
The Head of State had announced new CS nominees including former governors Hassan Joho and Wycliffe Oparanya as well as MPs John Mbadi and Opiyo Wandayi.
Ruto brought on board the four men linked to Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga in his bid to create a broad-based government.
Reacting to the nominations, Kuria sarcastically commended the President for bringing on board the four who are synonymous with the opposition.
He noted that Kenyan, himself included, will be watching whether the new entrants to the government will deliver as expected.
Kuria also insinuated that four were deliberately picked and nominated to head some of the most critical dockets; mining, cooperatives, energy and treasury.
Some of the tasks that await the new CS nominees, according to Kuria, include the high cost of fuel, budget issues and money lost to Hustler Fund defaulters.
