It was a mistake for Mt Kenya to leave the Jubilee Party; Moses Kuria
Senior State House advisor Moses Kuria calls the Mt Kenya region to come together under the Jubilee Party
Senior State House advisor Moses Kuria calls the Mt Kenya region to come together under the Jubilee Party.
Moses Kuria on Tuesday praised former President Uhuru Kenyatta for agreeing to meet and close ranks with President William Ruto, and revealed key political plans that he will soon initiate.
In a personal statement dated December 10, Kuria further announced that he was considering returning to the Jubilee Party following the meeting between Ruto and Uhuru, which he termed as a successful endeavour.
According to the former CS, after thoughtful reflection, he has since realised that he errored in leaving Jubilee to form his own Chama Cha Kazi (CCK) revealing that he will convince Uhuru to be the party leader.
Kuria further added that his quest to return to the party stems from the need to unify the Mt Kenya region under one strong political party before the country breaks into the subsequent general elections.
”The Mt Kenya region, like all other regions, deserves a strong political voice. It is our imaginable right. For all the good and bad lessons we have learnt, it was a mistake to leave the Jubilee Party. However, it is not too late,” Kuria revealed.
”We will now embark on bringing all the political parties with a footing in the region together under the Jubilee Party. We did it in 2016 when we dissolved parties to form Jubilee. We will do it again. Jubilee under President Kenyatta as the party leader is the way to go. Chama Cha Kazi and I will devote all our energies to that endeavour,” he added.
The President’s advisor implored Uhuru, Raila, and Ruto to work together and revive the stalled Building Bridges Initiative(BBI), which collapsed after a court ruling that declared it null and void.
”Firstly, we can no longer depend on handshakes and personal meetings to make us feel safe in our country. The frequent handshakes and artificial formations have vindicated President Kenyatta and Prime Minister Raila on the BBI initiative. They were right and we were wrong,” Kuria stated.
”I urge President Ruto, President Kenyatta, and Prime Minister Odinga to close ranks and lead the nation in picking from where BBI flopped and give this country a Constitution that speaks to the emerging realities of our nation and our society. BBI Season 2 is urgent and can not wait,” he added.

Consequently, Kuria thanked Ruto and Uhuru for agreeing to close ranks and work together, even as political questions continue to linger over what exactly prompted the two to meet.
”Closing ranks and forgiving each other is much easier than having to deal with the aftermath of a failed nation-state. In this regard, I wish to thank President Kenyatta and President Ruto for choosing the nation over personal or sectarian considerations. Coming hot on the heels of the formation of the broad-based government by President Ruto and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, it is another affirmation of Kenya’s resilience, stubbornly rising to the occasion when everyone expects us to jump to the abyss,” he added.
He also urged Mt Kenya residents to rise above what he termed as ‘widespread anger and emotions’ arising from the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and focus on resolving the current political crisis facing the region.
Kuria’s sentiments are expected to shape political discussions and forays, especially on the need to renovate the Jubilee Party and the BBI.
