It’s been four since they were pushed out into the cold, joining the ranks of millions of unemployed Kenyans.
Aside from farewell messages posted on their social media platforms, the former Cabinet Secretaries have kept quiet.
Meanwhile, their former boss, President William Ruto, begins the process of hiring a new team.However, former Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management CS Moses Kuria stated that it was a matter of when, not if, the Cabinet would be dismissed.
Kuria claims that the events leading up to their dismissal were an attempted coup against President William Ruto.
“Some people who were in this government were attempting a coup. We know some people like a hyena who saw the hand swinging they thought it was gone, and they took advantage of the Gen Z there.
This was a clear failed coup,” Kuria told Citizen TV in an exclusive interview on Sunday.
The ex-CS revealed that the Cabinet’s cracks had made it impossible to conduct business for the people.
“We had our problems, even to have a Cabinet committee was a problem and we needed to give the president a chance to reconvene his cabinet,” he said.
Although his ministry has faced corruption allegations regarding the importation of edible oils, Kuria maintains that the process was legal.
“For the last two years, edible oils have remained at 50% of what they were before,” the former CS said.
The former CS, who did not name his colleagues, claims the Gen Z demonstrators taught him a valuable life lesson.
“I’ve been calling him them the generation of Uber and fish fingers. They have proven me wrong. Now the Uber and the fish fingers people have shown me they can take this country forward. If I had a wish, I would want to be a Gen Z,” Kuria said.
He reflected on those who were trolling him online following his job loss.
“some people are enjoying me wewe ulifutwa n ahata wao hawana job… hata hao wananiridicule na hatuna job. Ati mimi unipate kwa corner nalia ooh, not me… I’m a global person,” boasted Kuria.
Kuria says he supports President Ruto’s plan to reconstitute a broad-based Cabinet, with opposition members joining the ranks of government.
“I support the government of national unity. If I get a chance to serve in the cabinet again, I won’t mind coming back but if I don’t, so be it,” he said.
