[DETAILS] Moses Kuria Holds Extensive Talks With Raila After Cabinet Snub

Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria revealed on Monday that he had agreed to collaborate closely with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

In a statement, the firebrand politician, who was recently left out in the cold after President William Ruto reconstituted his Cabinet, said he met with Raila in the presence of the latter’s son, Raila Odinga Junior.

A variety of issues confronting the country were central to their discussions.

“This morning at Capitol Hill I held a meeting with my friend Rt Hon Raila Odinga,” Kuria stated.

“We discussed various issues facing the nation at the moment. I thanked Baba for bending backward (Yet again) to save the country from self-destruction.”

He also revealed that the two agreed to ensure that the national dialogue, which has been in place since the elections, leads to structural reform.

“We were unanimous that going forward we can not continue to prescribe Panadol where surgery is required,” he added.

“The upcoming process of national dialogue MUST and Will culminate in deliberate structural reform for a lasting solution. We will work very, very closely in that endeavor as we continue to consult with other like-minded leaders.”

President William Ruto dissolved his entire Cabinet and did not re-appoint the former Cabinet Secretary in July this year.

Kuria rallied behind Raila’s call for the Bomas draft to be reinstated near the end of July.

“I fully support Raila Odinga’s call for a return to the Bomas Draft. Over the last 19 years since the rejection of Bomas, we have gone in circles with artificial experiments like Grand Coalition, Handshake, and now Broad Based Government,” he shared on July 28.

“We have skirted around to avoid the inevitable. I will offer my full devotion and commitment towards a National Constitutional conference towards the Bomas Draft.”

Raila, on the other hand, faced criticism for speaking with President Ruto during anti-Finance Bill protests.

Four members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party were later appointed to key Cabinet Secretary positions.
