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.

BREAKING NEWS: Mandela released from hospital

Nelson Mandela has been discharged for treatment at home after having been treated for acute respiratory infection, South Africa's Surgeon General has said.

"He has been discharged," said Lt. Gen. Vejaynand Ramlakan on Friday. "He is stable, but will be subject to intense monitoring," Dr Ramlakan added.

Dr. Ramlakan said Dr Mandela's family were making arrangements for him to return to his home in Houghton in Johannesburg. South Africa's vice-president, Kgalema Motlanthe, told reporters the anti-apartheid hero was "in good spirits and laughing and joking with us." "Madiba is well," Mr Motlanthe said, using Mandela's clan name. Mr Motlanthe confirmed that Dr Mandela was "well" and sent the former statesman's thanks to the nation and the world for their well wishes and prayers. Dr Mandela's grandson also reiterated the family's thanks for the "spirit of Ubuntu" [togetherness] shown by South Africans and those further afield for their support.

Military doctors said the 92-year-old first black president of South Africa had an acute respiratory condition but had responded well to treatment and his grandson confirmed he has been discharged. South Africa's surgeon-general praised Dr Mandela's "amazing positive attitude" for aiding his recovery.

The South African government and the Nelson Mandela Foundation had faced criticism for the information blackout that followed Mr Mandela's admission to hospital. Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe conceded that the authorities "could have handled the situation better". Mr Mothlane said the foundation received more than 10,000 messages for Mr Mandela including from US President Barack Obama and other heads of state.
