CS Kuria dismisses reports he’s not on good terms with Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua amid open soar relationship between the two.
Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has addressed his relationship with Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
This came after a string of hints seemed to indicate that the two are at odds over their rivalry as Mt Kenya kingpins.
The CS, however, speaking on Monday in a media interview refuted the claim that he does not get along with the Deputy President.
“I do not have any problem with the Deputy President. He has his roles and he knows the constitution,” Kuria stated.
CS Kuria was responding to an earlier statement by Gachagua where the Deputy President expressed little enthusiasm in the kingpin debate in Mt Kenya, stating that his duties as deputy president are well defined in the constitution.

The Public Service CS said all CSs work with the DP directly since the Kenya Kwanza government is collaborative.
“Constitutionally the DP is my boss. I have known him for a long time even before coming to parliament in 2017,” Kuria stated.
Despite not supporting Gachagua to be President William Ruto’s running mate in 2022, Kuria revealed that he threw his weight behind him when he was finally selected.
“I had stopped campaigning for myself for a while in 2022. Gachagua and I went across the country to campaign for Ruto,” he recalled.
He downplayed Gachagua’s revelation that the genesis of their fallout was his decision to back Wamatangi’s bid for the Kiambu Governor position in 2022 at the expense of CS Kuria.
