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? His "foul mouth". Oh, the irony! It seems even the most seasoned politicians can't escape the wrath of a sharp tongue. Since then, Kuria has seemingly vanished into thin air, keeping a low profile that would make even Bigfoot jealous. Rumour has it he's taken up residence in a cozy cave somewhere, pondering th

Ugandan army uniforms found in Kenya

Tension was high at the Malaba border after residents impounded a lorry full of Ugandan military uniforms. The residents stopped the lorry, registration number KAV 018T, headed to the customs department and demanded to view its contents. The besieged driver pleaded with the residents to let him pass as rowdy youths threatened to lynch him. The angry mob was in the process of setting the lorry ablaze when riot police arrived.

Amid shouts of, "Open it, open it!" the residents almost overpowered the police, prompting Teso OCPD, Joseph Kiget, to order the driver to open up the cargo. Councillor Chrisantus Kipala, of Malaba Central Ward, and a few other people boarded the lorry to verify the items as residents cheered and broke into songs. Pairs of Ugandan military uniforms and caps with State emblems were fished out of the boxes.

"Now you can relax because you have seen what the lorry is carrying. You can now let the driver proceed with his journey," the OCPD told the crowd. The residents have vowed to keep vigil at the border and are demanding an explanation from the Government about the Ugandan military uniforms. Kenyan customs officials at the border declined to talk to journalists regarding the matter. Ugandan security officials who had crossed the border to receive the consignment disappeared on realising the arrival of a KTN camera crew.

Tension has been high in western Kenya following rumours that Ugandan soldiers are in the country. The soldiers were said to have headed to Nyanza, Western and Rift Valley provinces, where violence broke out after President Kibaki declared himself the winner in last year’s discredited General Election. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has gone on record saying he did not help President Kibaki in his controversial re-election. The Ugandan Electoral Commission of Kenya also denied having played a part in the tallying of presidential results. Museveni, on the other hand, attributed the post-election violence to the Electoral Commission of Kenya.

Museveni is in Kenya as part of a mediation team.
