Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has declared his kingpin interests ahead of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over his remarks after he was dismissed from cabinet barely a month ago.
Responding to a message from Gachagua, who urged him to remain patient and trust in divine timing, Kuria declared his belief that he would become the kingpin of the Mt Kenya region and ascend to the presidency.
According to Kuria, he believes that he will become the sixth President of the Republic of Kenya after President William Ruto after ascending to the Mt Kenya kingpin status ahead of Rigathi Gachagua.

“I strongly trust that [God] will make me the current Mt Kenya kingpin and the 6th President of the Republic of Kenya,” Kuria confidently stated in response to Rigathi Gachagua.
This came after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua told him that despite his dismissal from cabinet, he should relax and wait for another opportunity to serve the people and avoid speaking about the past.
“To my brother Moses Kuria, relax. God doesn’t close a door without opening another. Don’t dwell on it too much. We wish you well. When the time is right, God will provide new opportunities. You’re still a young man.”
The two leaders have been on loggerheads over the past months with Kuria accusing the Deputy President of manipulation and dishonest politics after disagreeing on One Man One Shilling Idea presented by Rigathi.

However, the declaration of Moses Kuria to go hard for the kingpin status in Mt Kenya might not sit right with Rigathi Gachagua who is also eyeing the position in a bid to take over Presidency from William Ruto thus further intensifying the rivalry between the two.
