Where the Hell is Moses Kuria?

It seems Moses Kuria, the man of many portfolios, embarked on a whirlwind adventure through the halls of government, only to find himself in a comedic conundrum. Starting off strong as the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry, he was the talk of the town. But alas, fate had other plans. In a twist fit for a sitcom, Kuria found himself shuffled over to the Public Service portfolio faster than you can say "bureaucratic shuffle". Then, the plot thickened! In a classic case of diplomatic drama, the US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, decided to give Kuria a cold shoulder after cancelling not one, but two meetings with him. The reason?

Each political presidential candidate will be allowed two agents together with the ECK commissioners during tonight's critical review sojourn.

Skirmishes, looting and violence have spread all over the country and unconfirmed reports indicate that several people have been killed and several more have been hospitalised. In Kibera and Mathare, residents waved pangas and other crude weapons while others in the Nairobi CBD stoned cars, looted shops, lit huge bonfires and burned down informal settlement homes, all in a show of protest at the ECK's seemingly deliberate refusal to announce Raila Odinga's victory. Most Kenyans are of the opinion that the delay is an attempt to allow "votes" to stream in to boost Kibaki's tally.

The US Ambassador has appealed to the political class to accept ECK results and reach out to their opponents so as to heal the country. As Kenya goes to sleep tonight, restless in anticipation, we can only hope that Kibaki will do the right thing and throw in the towel. There is little else he can do.
