Moses Kuria Makes A Statement After Calls To Have Him Sacked
Moses Kuria, the cabinet secretary for public services, has stated that he is unfazed by demands for his dismissal.
The CS was answering a query from Jeff Koinange of Citizen TV in response to the senate’s outcry for his dismissal.
Which seat is hot? It’s not a huge issue; I’m 52 years old, and I’ve only been a minister for a year,” he remarked.
In response to inquiries about his feelings on his impeachment and accusations that he is disrespecting President William Ruto, Kuria stated that he is a busy man who works to improve the nation and wouldn’t want to be involved in such conversations.
“Those senators continue to meet. In light of the fact that the Senate currently functions as a quasi-court rather than a legislative body, he continued, “let me respect the laws of this country and refrain from engaging these people.”

The impeachment hearing for Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza was postponed by the senate on Tuesday in order to talk about the CS’s dismissal.
Senator Edwin Sifuna of Nairobi demanded the Kuria’s impeachment, claiming he was a disgrace to Ruto’s government.
“It is a national disgrace, Moses Kuria. How much more embezzlement is required of the President? Action needs to be taken since, even after your communication, the CS—who ought to be sleeping—took to X for another comment”,Sifuna added.
It seriously calls into question the appointment authority. Moses Kuria is who he is; he came for the media first, and now he’s come for the Senate. Take action, he continued.
Kuria had tried to sabotage the impeachment proceedings, Majority Leader Aaron Cheruyiot and his opponent Stewart Madzayo warned.
According to Senator Cheruyiot, President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration are embarrassed by the CS.
“Speaker, I agree with members of this house who have brought a motion of censure before to discuss the conduct of this particular minister because every given opportunity has done nothing but embarrass the appointing authority,” he stated.
“In fact, I submit that this administration would benefit more from CS Moses Kuria’s early release from office because he continues to disgrace the President and the People with every action he takes, every day.”
Senator Otieno Kajwang of Homa Bay urged his National Assembly counterparts to file the impeachment motion as the August House is legally required to do so.

“I want to urge the members of the other house because they are the ones who have the responsibility of censoring and sending serious judicial notice of the conduct of this particular cabinet secretary,” he stated.
The ODM senator pleaded with the Senate Majority Leader to discreetly bring up the Senate’s concerns to the President, who has the power of appointment.
“The CS is an embarrassment, not just to the government, but to the Republic of Kenya and the entire East Africa,” Kajwang said.
