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?

RIP, Odongo Omamo ka liech

Veteran politician and former long serving Cabinet minister Dr William Odongo Omamo has died, aged 82.

He made his mark in politics when he ousted Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who is considered the father of opposition politics, as Bondo MP in 1969 on a Kanu ticket. In his condolence message, Prime Minister Raila Odinga said his death came "as a shock and a surprise to me and the whole country".

Renown for his oratory skills, Dr Omamo, fondly referred to as Ka liech (like an elephant), had been ailing for some time. He died this morning, and his body has been removed to the Lee Funeral Home, Nairobi.

He was the first African Principal of the then Egerton Agricultural College, the modern day Egerton University and according to the PM "set the institution on the firm foundation that has made it what it is today".

"His death is particularly a loss to the people of Bondo where he began his political career and Nyanza where he was part and parcel of the political landscape from the time country held the second general election in 1969. As Cabinet Minister in various ministries in independent Kenya, Omamo contributed to the making of the Kenyan nation. It is sad that the nation will not benefit from his wisdom as we embark on the final leg of our long search for a new constitution," said Mr Odinga in his message.
