Moses Kuria, the senior economic advisor to President William Ruto, has resigned from his position.
In a statement via his X account, Kuria announced his exit following a meeting with President Ruto.
“The President has graciously accepted my decision to resign from government,” he revealed.
Moses Kuria served as the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade and Industry for 11 months and later in the Public Service, Delivery and Performance Management docket for 9 months before the Head of State fired his cabinet ministers following the Gen-Z’s protests last year.
He was then appointed as the Senior Evomomic Advisor to President Ruto where he served for the last 10 months.
Kuria thanked the president for giving him a chance to serve in his government.
“I thank President Ruto for having given me an opportunity to serve as Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade and Industry for 11 months, Public Service, Delivery and Performance Management for 9 months and Senior Evomomic Advisor for the last 10 months” Kuria stated.
Kuria did not reveal his next political plans but noted that he was moving on to pursue personal interests.
“As I move on to pursue personal interests I am proud of the work the President and I did to implement the Bottom Up Economic Transformation Agenda which I designed together with the President as our 2022 Electoral Platform,” he added.
