CS Kuria reads a riot act to Mt Kenya politicians for disrespecting "I am still the most senior politician"
Moses Kuria calls out politicians from the Mt Kenya region for allegedly not involving him in key strategic meetings.
Speaking during the burial service of Mzee John Gitau Mbugua in Gatundu South, CS Kuria questioned why the politicians had not been according him the respect he felt he deserved.
The Public Service CS reiterated that his position was the clearest indication that he was still the most senior politician in Kiambu County and hence should be consulted on all political matters in the region.
In a direct address to his detractors, CS Kuria referenced an analogy popularly used by former President Uhuru Kenyatta; “Don’t mistake a lion that has been rained on for a cat.”
“I am the only minister in Kiambu County. We have seen many people think that they are so big that they can disrespect me to the point that meetings are held without my knowledge,” Kuria pointed out.
“I should be respected. I have come in peace but if you want conflict then it will be in equal measure. Hence, I don’t want people to continue disrespecting me. I am still the senior most politician in Kiambu County and I don’t want to be annoyed.”

Kuria also questioned why politicians inside the government kept making promises instead of acting and fulfilling the pledges made during the campaign period.
He referenced the One Man One Shilling One Vote Policy which has been the talking point since Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua recently vowed to lead the campaign.
CS Kuria added that the Mount Kenya region had not been neglected, following key appointments in the government.
“This is why I will not lie to the people of Mt Kenya region about one man one vote one shilling. Our region has produced the sitting Deputy President, 9 Cabinet members (including AG (Attorney General), National Treasury, and Secretary to the Cabinet), Majority Leader, Chair Budget and Chair Finance In the National Assembly, Deputy Speaker, and Deputy Majority Leader in the Senate,” Kuria stated.
