Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management Moses Kuria has taken to social media to troll Deputy President Rigathis Gachagua.
DP Gachagua who addressed congregants at Kiamariga PEFA Church in Mathira Constituency on Sunday took a dig at a section of President William Ruto who he accused of arrogance undermining him.
“Viongozi wengine wa Kenya Kwanza wamekuwa na kiburi. Wakifungua mdomo, watu wanakasirikia” DP Gachagua stated.

He further cautioned the President against ‘overzealous officers' at Harambee House and some high-ranking officials at the Ministry of Interior Ministry who he accused of frustrating the war on illicit brew.
“Anybody stopping that war or undermining it is setting the President and the government against the people. If you people at interior (Ministry) think that you want to interfere with this successful programme so as to undermine the Deputy President, you are effectively undermining President Ruto and his administration,” Gachagua remarked.
“I have never missed a single cabinet sitting, so there is no decision that has been made by the cabinet to stop war against illicit brew,” he added.
Shortly afterwards, Kuria took to social media with a thin-veiled attack in which referenced areas toured by the DP on Sunday.
“The President of the Federal Republic of Mathira spent a bruising day on a whistle stop tour of his country with stops in Hiriga, Kabiruini, Ngorano and Kiamariga States.” Kuria wrote.

In an apparent reference to DP’s home turf of Mathira, Kuria added that “The President pledged to strengthen the bilateral relations between the Federal Republic of Mathira and the neighbouring Republic of Kenya”.
