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. Since then, Kuria has seemingly vanished into thin air, keeping a low profile that would make even Bigfoot jealous. Rumour has it he's taken up residence in a cozy cave somewhere, pondering th

A presidential knee to the groin

LA PAZ - Bolivian President Evo Morales has been caught on camera apparently kneeing an opponent in the groin during a football game.

The kick, which came after the president had been fouled, happened during a friendly match against a team led by the mayor of La Paz. The opposing player and one of Mr Morales' bodyguards were both sent off. Reports say police tried to arrest the opposition player at the end of the match before the mayor intervened. Evo Morales led out a team of his governing Movement towards Socialism (Mas) party against the opposition Movement Without Fear (MSM) led by the mayor of La Paz, Luis Revilla. The match was a friendly to inaugurate a new football field in Pa Paz, Bolivia's political capital.

But within five minutes, things turned nasty.
 
Mr Morales was fouled by an opposition player, Daniel Gustavo Cartagena. In an apparent retaliation caught on video, he was seen kneeing Mr Cartagena in the genitals, sending him sprawling. "I passed the ball and, suddenly, I got hit, and not for the first time," the president said later.
 
The match ended in acrimony
 
After receiving treatment for injury, Mr Morales played on, and scored a goal. The match ended 4-4, with four players sent off, including Mr Cartagena and one of the president's bodyguards. After the final whistle, police tried to arrest the opposition player, but were stopped by Mr Revilla, local media reported. "This was a football match, and on the pitch we are all players. It was just a clash. I am not moving while one of my players is in danger," Bolivian newspaper La Razon quoted the mayor as saying.
 
Doctors have advised Mr Morales to rest for several days to recover from bruising to his right leg. Mr Morales, 50, is a keen football fan and no stranger to controversy on and off the pitch.
