Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has responded to former President Uhuru Kenyatta over his remarks.
Kuria alleged that Uhuru left the economy in a dire situation which could have collapsed by December 2023. Kuria maintained that Uhuru did that intentionally to sabotage his successor.
However, Kuria maintained that President William Ruto’s administration had managed to salvage the situation.
At the same time, Kuria alleged that Uhuru was concerned by the State Capture Bill which he argued could expose him to legal scrutiny.
He thus directed the former President to keep off politics and allow the Kenya Kwanza administration to fix his mess.
Moreover, Kuria alleged that Uhuru was playing Raila Odinga in planning nationwide protests.
Uhuru had asked Kenya Kwanza lawmakers to focus on service delivery instead of using him as a punching bag.
The former President argued that blaming him will not solve the problems bedeviling the country.
Here is Kuria’s full statement
1.Every day the full magnitude of the mess you left behind is dawning on us. We are not complaining. We will continue to clean the mess. We can do so when you are quiet. Better.
2. You thought the economy would collapse by December 2023 as you have told your friends repeatedly. Now that it’s clear we have navigated your murky waters, you are all over again
3. If you have a problem with Kimani Ichungwa’s State Capture Bill, call him directly or visit him in Gikambura.
4. You are not happy that Raila has refused your contract to cause violence. You conned him that you would make him President then fired all your experienced campaign managers. You lied to the old man. And now you want to manage him again by saying you are in Azimio to stay.
