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.

"There is nothing strange with the planes and their operations. American soldiers operate 24 hours a day and are here legally," she said in a telephone conversation.

The official said she was not aware of any terror suspect who had been renditioned out of the country using the planes and termed the claims "speculations". Ms Dubois confirmed that the embassy uses the Prescott Support Group planes in their operations. "The US embassy has a contract with Prescott to fly their personnel and other goods to various destinations, but we do not operate at night."

Dubois declined to comment on whether CIA agents accompany American soldiers or embassy personnel whenever they land in the country. "No comment on the CIA agents in that context. Please," she said.

The embassy in Nairobi obtained a licence on behalf of Prescott to operate non-scheduled flights from Jomo Kenyatta International and Wilson airports from June. The Prescott Group, which according to the American media, has links with the CIA, applied for renewal of their licence in May and was allowed to make non-scheduled air service for passengers and freight in and out of Kenya.

Documents show that the company was allowed to fly in and out, for two years, in a Gazette notice on June 20.
