On November 6, 2019, Moses Kuria, the Gatundu South Member of Parliament, made a shocking announcement: he intends to run for president. This move has left many Kenyans questioning his motives, given his role in the country's economic downturn.
According to Kuria, his decision to seek the presidency is a bid to 'give the economy the stimulus it requires.' However, critics argue that his actions as a politician have contributed significantly to the country's debt burden.
Kuria's announcement has sparked a heated debate, with many citizens expressing skepticism about his ability to lead the country out of its economic crisis. As one commentator noted, 'we are cushioned by taxpayers,' implying that the current economic situation is unsustainable.
As the country grapples with the consequences of its economic policies, Kuria's presidential ambitions have raised more questions than answers. Will he be able to deliver on his promises, or will his actions continue to exacerbate the country's problems?
