Moses Kuria warns CS Duale, 2 other politicians over Mt Kenya remarks
Moses Kuria has cautioned Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale, Uasin Gishu Senator Jackson Mandago, and Tiaty MP William Kamket over remarks suggesting that the Mt Kenya region views itself as a superior community.
In a strongly worded statement on Saturday, August 16, Kuria said he will not allow the blanket condemnation and collective punishment of the Mt Kenya region.
“In the recent past, I have listened to a number of leaders allege that there is a community that thinks it’s superior to others. From Kamket to Mandago to Aden Duale in Balambala today,” said Kuria.
He added, “Some of us have unapologetically said no to returning this country to the politics of negative ethnicity. Equally, we will vehemently resist Wholesale condemnation and collective punishment of an entire community.”
The former Public Service CS went on to say that if CS Duale, Kamket, and Mandago had a problem with any individual from the Mt. Kenya region, they should not extend it to condemn the entire community.
“If Mt Kenya people have eaten your goat Kamket, Mandago, or Duale, do let me know, I will pay you back. Do not drive our backs against the wall. A point of no return may lead to very unintended consequences,” Kuria added.

Speaking on Saturday in Balambala, Garissa County, CS Duale stated that there is no superior community in Kenya, emphasizing that the constitution guarantees equality for all communities.
The Health CS claimed that President William Ruto was being unfairly targeted for his efforts to unite the country.
“There is no superior community, region, or religion here in Kenya the constitution provides. President William Ruto is becoming a victim of these political shenanigans because he wants to unite the people of Kenya,” said Duale.
Further, Duale said the pastoralist community will back President Ruto’s re-election bid in the 2027 general election.
“We, as the pastoralist community, will stand with William Ruto. And since Ruto has now joined hands with Baba, we have gone back to the politics of 2007. The dust that leaders like Kalonzo and Matiang’i will face in 2027 will leave them shocked,” he added.
This is not the first time Kuria has called out CS Duale. On August 3, Kuria slammed the Health CS over his threat to deport former Kesses MP Swarup Mishra.
Kuria warned that the move could damage investor confidence and Kenya’s international reputation.
“Sometimes I wonder. When a senior government official who is not in charge of immigration says we will cancel citizenship and deport so and so, do we ponder what investors will think of our country?” he posed.
