Moses Kuria Fires Shots at Kindiki and Ruku Over Mt. Kenya Unity Debates
Former Cabinet Secretary and Presidential Advisor Moses Kuria has sharply criticized Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku over their persistent calls to divide the Mt. Kenya region into East and West factions.
For months, leaders pushing the “Pasua Movement” from Mt. Kenya East—led by figures including CS Ruku—have advocated for a distinct political and regional identity. They argue that the Eastern section has historically suffered from underdevelopment and political marginalization despite staunchly supporting leaders from the West.
However, Kuria broke his silence in a scathing Facebook post, aiming directly at Kindiki and Ruku while calling out the divisive narrative. Dismissing the push as mysterious and counterproductive, Kuria questioned the ultimate motives of the East faction and defended the broader Mt. Kenya community.

“There is something mysterious with the Pasua Movement from Mt Kenya East. What is it you expect from Kikuyus? What is your ask?” Kuria wrote.
Addressing complaints regarding national leadership and political bargaining, Kuria stressed that executive appointments and future alignment strategy fall outside regional demands.
“And do not tell me it’s about the Deputy President position because we cannot force a Presidential candidate on whom to pick as a running mate,” Kuria added. “Currently we have one in office and we fully support him. The choice of the next one is not in our hands. That decision is above our pay grade. Cut us some slack please.”
Kuria’s remarks mark a major escalation in the ongoing tussle for Mt. Kenya’s political soul, signaling growing impatience among leaders from the Central region over constant demands from their Eastern neighbors. With political realignments taking shape across the region, Kuria’s bombshell adds fresh friction to an already volatile battle for Mt. Kenya leadership.
