Moses Kuria Hits Out At Duale Over Threats To Mediheal Owner
Moses Kuria, former Senior Economic Adviser to the President, has blasted Aden Duale, the Health Cabinet Secretary.
This comes after Duale said that the citizenship of Mediheal’s owner, Swarup Mishra, could be withdrawn for alleged organ trafficking at his clinic.
Kuria said in a statement posted on his official X account on Monday, August 4, that the Health CS, whom he did not name, lacks constitutional jurisdiction to make such claims.
Kuria further warned that such a remark risks weakening investor confidence, crippling the country’s economy and denying youths jobs.
Sometimes I wonder. When a Senior government official who is not in charge of immigration says we will cancel citizenship and deport so and so, do we ponder to think what investors will think of our country? Are we that unorthodox? What of investors confidence? What of due…

“Sometimes I wonder. When a Senior government official who is not in charge of immigration says we will cancel citizenship and deport so-and-so, do we ponder what investors will think of our country?” Kuria stated.
“Are we that unorthodox? What of investors’ confidence? What of due process? What of our credit rating? At this rate, from where shall we get jobs for these children of ours? Gracious Lord, hear us,” he added.
Speaking on Friday, August 1, Duale said that the independent committee sent to Mediheal had obtained information indicating that the facility was involved in organ trafficking.
Duale stated that the government would not hesitate to take decisive measures against Mishra.
In addition to citizenship revocation, the former Kesses MP faces deportation and prosecution, according to the Health CS.
Duale also stated that Mishra tried to undermine the investigations through intimidation and bribery.
“In terms of young people who had their kidneys removed, some of them have disappeared. We have evidence. Some of them were paid,” Duale said.

“You cannot come to our country 20 years ago with a bag, make money, sell our organs, become an MP, develop a culture of impunity, and then come here and threaten us.”
“If it means us revoking that citizenship, because your citizenship is not by birth, we will revoke the citizenship, close your hospitals, and we will deport you,” he added.
The investigative committee’s recommendations included the arrest and prosecution of Mishra for alleged involvement in organ trafficking.
The 13-member task group accused the former MP of enormous irregularities, alleging that he was part of an international organ trafficking gang operating within the hospital.
