Wednesday, August 20, 2025 - President Ruto’s former Senior Economic Advisor Moses Kuria has dismissed claims that he was sacked, insisting that his exit was voluntary.
Speaking in an interview, Kuria challenged those spreading
rumors of his dismissal to produce evidence.
“Where is my firing letter? I was not fired, and I was not
asked to resign. In fact, the President regretted the fact that I resigned,” he
stated.
Kuria explained that his resignation, tendered on July 8th,
followed personal reflection and a desire to take a neutral position.
He linked the decision to the aftermath of the Saba Saba
protests, which he said left him unsettled.
“I resigned a day after Saba Saba because the events
of that day shattered me totally.”
“The opposition claimed Government was behind the chaos,
while Government denied.”
“I didn’t know who to believe, so I decided to step aside to
observe more clearly,” he said.
The former Trade and Public Service Cabinet Secretary added
that no explanation was ever given for his earlier removal from the Cabinet,
but maintained he left his mark.
“Nobody had ever attempted reforms at Industrial or NYS the
way I did. That will go on record,” Kuria remarked.
Reflecting on his time in office, Kuria said he was proud of
his contributions and would continue serving the country outside Government.
“For the 20 months I was in Cabinet, I walk with my head
high. I don’t have to be in Government to make positive change,” he noted.
Upon resigning, Kuria thanked President Ruto for entrusting
him with three key roles, including Trade, Public Service, and most recently,
Senior Economic Advisor.
