Kuria advices President Ruto to ruthessly deal with Raila as Kagame, Museveni does with opponents.
Trade and Investment Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has a suggestion for how the government should handle opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Kuria suggested that in order to deal with Raila, President William Ruto’s administration should adopt strategies similar to those employed by Paul Kagame of Rwanda and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda.
The CS was speaking to Focus on Africa of the BBC on Friday.
Kuria responded that Raila has had it good for too long when asked whether the current leadership is willing to talk to him.
“He had it with Kibaki. Kibaki is no more. He had it with Uhuru. He will not have it again, take it from me. There’s not going to be any dividend for democracy,” the CS said.
He also said there will be no talks between Raila and the ruling regime.
Kuria said the August 9 elections were very transparent adding that even the Supreme Court upheld the elections.
The Trade CS said Raila’s tactic of using violence to challenge elections will not work this time.

“Every time coming to prosecute an election, then it means that we’re going to deal with him the way Kagame deals with his opponents. The way Museveni deals with his opponent. There’s no other way,” Kuria opined.
When asked how Kagame and Museveni deal with their opponents, Kuria said they safeguard the sovereignty and the democracy of their people.
He termed the ongoing mass action rallies as an act of economic terrorism.
Raila had announced that his supporters will hold demos every Monday and Thursday.
On Monday, when the mass action rallies were held, the Capital Nairobi saw the closure of many businesses.
