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?

"Agreeing to enter into a quick fix for the sake of Raila is a betrayal of the people of Kenya and the constitution. Legitimizing an illegal deal that violates the constitution will mean that we will be playing in creating an illegal office of the prime minister'', said Foreign Affairs Minister Moses Wetangula. Despite mounting pressure from the international community for Kibaki and Odinga to seal a power-sharing deal to end the bloody post-election violence, Kibaki remains in a hard line position.

Kofi Annan is among the leaders who have proposed for the formation of a grand coalition to include ODM and PNU. On Monday, US Secretary of State Condelezza Rice called upon the two leaders to work towards a power-sharing arrangement. "We hope that a power-sharing deal will be reached soon. It is only through such an arrangement that peace and security will return", Rice said in Nairobi. The EU has called for a compromise and warned that anyone sabotaging the talks would be 'punished'.
