Moses Kiarie Kuria, a Kenyan politician and former Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, in a recent midnight post following the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, has sparked a wave of reflection within the House of Mumbi.
Kuria’s message touches upon a deeper sentiment rooted in the events of 2022, when the community made a significant political choice by supporting a leader from outside Mt. Kenya.
This decision, framed as paying an external debt, was a moment of national unity and sacrifice. Now, Kuria argues, the time has come to settle a more intimate obligation — the need to back leadership from within, specifically from our Meru and Embu brothers and sisters.
This call isn’t just about regional loyalty but about addressing the evolving political landscape with wisdom. Kuria is urging the House of Mumbi to recognise that supporting these communities is a step towards reinforcing our historical and economic bonds.
The challenges of the day demand a cohesive response, one that acknowledges the debt owed within the broader GEMA community.
As the dust settles from Gachagua’s impeachment, the message is clear: this is a pivotal moment, not for division, but for unity. The future of the community, Kuria suggests, lies in recognising the leadership potential within and seizing the opportunity to fulfil the responsibilities that history has placed upon us.
