Moses Kuria gets spiritual, shares random Gachagua photo after he's moved ministries

Former Investments, Trade and Industry Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria appeared to have been emotionally affected by President William Ruto's move to reshuffle his cabinet, a move which saw him shifted to the newly reconstituted and renamed Ministry of Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management.

The CS, no stranger to offline and online controversy, reacted to the President's move with a not-so-peculiar stunt - posting a photo of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

Kuria, who has in the past subliminally spurred with the Deputy President over Mount Kenya supremacy and other issues, appeared to peg his tribulations to his Mathira nemesis.

His decision to post Gachagua's photo, without a caption, raised eyebrows with the tweet attracting thousands of divided comments and reactions from his followers.

Prior to posting a photo of the DP, Kuria had earlier posted a link to Elija Miller's Gospel hit 'Ihinda Riakinya', seeming to embrace a more spiritual approach as his troubles came to a head.

Last month, Gachagua called out Kuria over what he termed an arrogant approach when addressing the rising cost of fuel.

“You do not address your employer (Kenyans) with arrogance. Do so with humility and decorum,” Gachagua warned Kuria.

This was after Kuria told Kenyans that the price of fuel would increase every month and anyone who was discontent could drill their own oil.

Moments after being admonished by the DP, a typical Kuria stated that some people were suffering from an 'inferiority complex'.

He then quickly deleted the tweet and replaced it with a sarcastic apology to Gachagua and other leaders who were calling him out for arrogance.

"I have since been advised by people like Boni Khalwale and his master that the statement was incorrect, insensitive, and arrogant. I am made to understand that the price will come down," Kuria posted on September 20.

To further compound Kuria's troubles, United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai back in July refused to meet him during her high profile to Kenya for high-level trade negotiations.

Similarly, President William Ruto left out Kuria as he took a delegation to the United States for the continuation of the trade talks.
