Senior State House advisor Moses Kuria expressed appreciation for former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s decision to meet with President William Ruto and reconcile their differences on Tuesday.
In a statement dated December 10, Kuria revealed that he is contemplating returning to the Jubilee Party after the successful meeting between Ruto and Uhuru. He reflected on his decision to leave Jubilee and form his own party, Chama Cha Kazi (CCK), admitting it was a mistake. He also announced his intention to persuade Uhuru to take the role of party leader once again.
Kuria emphasized that his desire to rejoin Jubilee is driven by the need to unite the Mt. Kenya region under one strong political party ahead of future general elections. He believes that the region, like others, deserves a powerful political voice.
“The Mt. Kenya region deserves a strong political voice, which is our right. After reflecting on the lessons learned, leaving Jubilee was a mistake, but it’s not too late to make it right,” Kuria said. “We aim to bring all parties in the region together under Jubilee. We did this in 2016 when we formed Jubilee, and we can do it again. Jubilee under President Kenyatta’s leadership is the way forward.”
Kuria also urged Uhuru, Raila, and Ruto to collaborate and revive the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), which collapsed after being declared unconstitutional by the courts. He called on them to work together to craft a Constitution that addresses the current realities of the nation.
“We can no longer rely on handshakes and personal meetings for national stability. The BBI initiative was correct, and we were wrong to oppose it. I urge Presidents Ruto and Kenyatta, along with Raila, to unite and continue from where BBI left off to give Kenya a Constitution that reflects the nation’s evolving needs. BBI Season 2 is urgent,” Kuria stated.
In conclusion, Kuria thanked Ruto and Uhuru for choosing to put the nation first and reconcile, highlighting the importance of healing political divisions for the country’s future stability. He praised their decision to prioritize national unity over personal or partisan interests.
