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

Kenya's Traitor-in-chief on a recognition-begging visit to Uganda

KAMPALA - President Yoweri Museveni yesterday held a meeting with Kenyan "vice-president" Kalonzo Musyoka at State House Entebbe, during which they discussed the progress of the talks between Kenya’s government and the opposition. “He came in on Sunday to meet President Museveni. They have met today (Monday) at Entebbe State House for a briefing on what is happening in Kenya and how far the peace talks have gone,” said state minister for foreign affairs Isaac Musumba.

The Media Centre director, Fred Opolot, explained that Musyoka was sent by President Mwai Kibaki to deliver a message. The meeting was in the context of consultations among the East African Community member states on the political situation in Kenya, he added. Museveni, the chairman of the East African Community, travelled to Kenya last month in a bid to mediate between Kibaki and his rival, Raila Odinga, who claims that victory in the December elections was stolen from him.

Museveni proposed a power-sharing deal between Kibaki and Odinga, a proposal which was later adopted during talks mediated by former UN boss Kofi Annan. Both sides also agreed on the creation of a prime minister – Odinga – and two deputies. Issues still being discussed are the sharing of cabinet positions on a 50/50 basis, the proposal to give the prime minister more powers, the holding of general elections if the coalition collapses and entrenching the political deal in the constitution.

Musyoka was in Kigali, Rwanda and Tanzania last Friday on “solution-finding visits”. Earlier, he visited the UK and the US to explain his government’s efforts to resolve the political crisis, that has left at least 1,000 people dead and 300,000 displaced.
