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?

Government of Kenya hires "prophet" to lead nationwide prayer campaign

The government on Tuesday officially contracted the services of a self-proclaimed prophet to bring reconciliation after post-election violence.

Making the declaration, PS Mohammed Ali said the move was meant to restore the hearts of the victims of the 2007 general elections mayhem. He was accompanied by Dr Owuor at his office. “This is the only way we can promote long lasting peace among the people,” said Mr Ali.

Last weekend, the clergy held prayers in Eldoret where several people returned items they had looted from their neighbours during the violence. Dr Owuor said the government had only provided the physical restoration by providing houses to the displaced people. “It is the time for the hearts of the people to be healed.”

The government will not provide any financial assistance to Dr Owuor’s ministry. “But the police and the provincial administration officers will provide security and transport during the rallies,” said Mr Ali.
