UDA Senator, Bonny Khalwale responds to CS Moses Kuria over his apology which appeared to be sarcastic.
Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV on Thursday, September 21, Khalwale said that Kuria never issued any apology saying that every tone on that statement was sarcasm.
The Kakamega Senator stated that he would not remain silent while individuals like CS Kuria insulted Kenyans rather than helping them.
“I refuse to respond to Moses Kuria because I am an independent leader and cannot be remote-controlled. The tone in his apology was nothing but sarcasm. We were never elected to insult Kenyans or show them the middle finger,” Khalwale stated.
The Trade CS has in the recent past clashed with the public after telling Kenyans to drill their own wells if they felt the price of fuel was too high.
He again maintained that the prices of fuel would constantly increase by Sh10 until February next year on grounds of global events that would have an impact on fuel.
However, CS Kuria appeared to take a swipe at Khalwale and his ‘master’ claiming that he had been made to understand that the prices would drop.

“Dear Kenyans. On Friday 15th September I made some comments indicating that the price of fuel is likely to go up in the coming months owing to global dynamics. I have since been advised by people like Dr Boni Khalwale and his master that the statement was incorrect, insensitive, and arrogant. I am made to now understand that the price will come down. I apologize profusely since to err is human,” Kuria tweeted.
CS Kuria also appeared to respond to DP Gachagua who had reprimanded him and Ruto’s economic advisor David Ndii over their remarks on high fuel prices.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua had asked all public servants to respect Kenyans as they address challenges facing the country.
Speaking on Tuesday in Mombasa, Gachagua said Kenyans deserve to be treated with respect and listened to all the time, more so during difficult times.
“All of us given the privilege to serve should do so with humility. We should have empathy with the people you are taking care of, respect those under you, address them with respect and decorum. It costs you nothing,” he urged.
