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.

She said the intelligence sources indicated that a special unit is being formed to consider ways of neutralising Kiai and other human rights activists. "Among the methods that have been floated is to mask the deliberate targeting as a common criminality, such as carjacking or calculated road accidents," she said.

Human rights lawyer Harun Ndubi said the Attorney General had been informed of the issue.
