From Cabinet to Cadaver: Moses Kuria's Wild Ride Post Politics!

After getting fired by Ruto, Moses Kuria reveals he was offered a mortuary job! Dive into his surprising new journey and economic warnings!

Moses Kuria, the former Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, has had quite the rollercoaster ride since his dismissal from the Cabinet. Speaking candidly during a recent media briefing about life after politics, Kuria reflected on how the transition has been both enlightening and challenging. In his own words, he revealed that he received an unexpected job offer to work in a mortuary after President William Ruto let him go. "It was a tough moment, but at least the phone calls have gone silent, which means I could focus on my writing and possibly dealing with a new kind of clientele!" he humorously commented, showcasing his ability to find humor even in difficult times.

Life after being a high-flying politician has been a whirlwind for Kuria. He admits that while political life was filled with constant chatter and engagements, his current lifestyle has shifted towards more solitary pursuits like writing and reflecting on the past. He mentioned how he misses the rush of political discussions but is also enjoying the quieter moments of life. "Being at the forefront of politics was a blast; I even orchestrated some drama with Raila Odinga! But there’s something peaceful about penning down my thoughts without a fret of a public outcry," Kuria quipped. Clearly, he's embracing this new chapter, even if it means turning over some very unusual stones.

However, it hasn't been all calm waters for the ex-CS. A significant concern on his mind is Kenya's economy—specifically, the potential plummet of the Kenyan shilling. In a dire warning, he stated that if the International Monetary Fund (IMF) doesn’t intervene swiftly, the Kenyan shilling could drop to an alarming Ksh 170 against the dollar. His prediction is based on recent economic trends and the existing pressure on the nation’s finances. Everyone is listening closely as the political heavyweight, now turned economic prophet, shares his insights.

Moses Kuria's transition from politics to a quieter life of writing is peppered with humor, unexpected job offers, and economic forecasts. As he adjusts to his new lifestyle, Kenyans are left wondering: can a former politician really turn into an economics guru? One thing is for sure, though—Kuria’s got a knack for keeping the public intrigued! Speaking of intriguing, did you know that mortuary jobs in Kenya actually require quite a bit of specialized training? Also, the Kenya shilling hasn't been this touchy since the 90s, making Kuria's warnings a pertinent reminder of our economic fragility. So, whether he ends up in a mortuary or penning a best-seller, one thing is certain—Moses Kuria's story is far from over!
