'Nothing scares me,' Ex-CS Kuria addresses Ruto sacking him

Former Public Service, Performance, and Delivery CS Moses Kuria has responded to President William Ruto's decision to dissolve his entire cabinet.

In an interview on Kameme FM, Kuria expressed his readiness for any situation, stating, "Nothing scares me… I’m always ready."

Kuria stressed that everything is under God's control and assured that he is doing well.

During the interview, he humorously requested a job supplying eggs, porridge, and tea to the radio station.

Kuria quickly updated his social media bio to reflect his status as a former Cabinet Secretary, being one of the first among the 21 dismissed members to do so.

On Thursday, President Ruto announced the dissolution of his entire cabinet, including all CSs and the Attorney General.

The only exception was Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, who also serves as the Foreign and Diaspora Affairs CS.

President Ruto stated that the new cabinet would be appointed following extensive consultations across various sectors.

In the interim, ministry accounting officers and other officials will oversee operations.

"I will immediately engage in extensive consultations across different sectors and political formations to set up a broad-based government that will assist me in accelerating and expediting the necessary, urgent, and irreversible implementation of radical programmes to deal with the burden of debt, raise domestic resources, expand job opportunities, eliminate wastage and unnecessary duplication of a multiplicity of government agencies, and slay the dragon of corruption, consequently making the government lean, inexpensive, effective, and efficient," Ruto declared.

"The operations of government will continue uninterrupted under the guidance of Principal Secretaries and other relevant officials."
