Nairobi, Kenya – Moses Kuria, the former Cabinet Secretary for Trade, has publicly declared his intentions. He aims to lead Kenya as the sixth President. He also aims to become the new kingpin of the Mount Kenya region.
Kuria made this bold announcement in response to comments by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. He had earlier expressed sympathy after President William Ruto dismissed Kuria.
