Trade and Investments Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria on Tuesday, August 29 braved the brutal morning cold to catch a boda boda ride to President William Ruto's cabinet meeting at Kakamega State Lodge.
The CS shared a video of himself having a conversation with the boda boda rider before heading to the State Lodge.
Kuria, who was in the company of his aides, argued that he was cautious of arriving late to the Cabinet meeting to avoid consequences from Ruto, who was strict on time.
He decided to use the boda boda after his driver was said to have delayed picking him up, prompting him to seek alternatives rather than wait for his official vehicle.
Here is the video:
While interacting with the boda rider, Philip Etale, in Milimani estate, in Kakamega, Kuria disclosed that he was ready to leave for the meeting by 6:20 a.m., but did not disclose when the meeting was scheduled to start.
“Rais amekuwa mkali (The president has become very tough),” the CS was heard telling the rider who engaged him in a conversation about the importance of timekeeping.
“Hiyo mboka itapotea, wewe wacha story mingi nipeleke tu (My job is on the line, stop talking and let's go)” CS Kuria was heard urging the rider to take off.
In another tweet, Kuria announced that he arrived at the meeting venue on time and even shared a video of him greeting police officers at the State Lodge.
The CS has in the recent past been on the receiving end of President Ruto's wrath after he arrived late to a State House function on Tuesday, August 1. The President had hosted the signing of performance contracts ceremony at State House which brought together all Cabinet secretaries, principal secretaries, heads of parastatals and other senior government officials.
While reprimanding the latecomers, President Ruto dismissed claims by some CSs that they were late to the event due to traffic jams.
"I don't know whether it is this performance contracts that have been going on for 20 years that many people maybe mistakenly think that it is a ritual and that is why people resort to the old incompetent excuses that there was traffic for them not to be in the most important public function.
"We have a job because we have a contract, if you cannot keep time with your employer you have basically dismissed yourself, it is just as simple as that," he reprimanded.
Addressing the latecomers, whose reports revealed as Interior CS Kithure Kindiki and Trade CS Moses Kuria, the President demanded that they provide a written explanation as to why they were late, and not use traffic as an excuse.
"For those who came late and are members of the Executive, I will be expecting a written explanation and it should not include matters of traffic on why they did not take these performance contracts seriously because if you don't take them seriously it means that we don't take the contract with the people of Kenya on performance seriously and that can be a very serious indictment on anybody," he went on.
