In a statement, the former Trade Cabinet Secretary posted an uncaptioned photo of the DP whom they have been at loggerheads for weeks.

The post was made a few minutes after Kuria posted a gospel song remarking God will see him through his tribulations.

Kuria in what analysts and political experts interpreted as demotion was moved from the Trade docket to the role of Public Service.

Gachagua had last month called out Kuria over what he termed as an arrogant approach when addressing the rising cost of fuel.

“You do not address your employer (Kenyans) with arrogance. Do so with humility and decorum,” Gachagua warned Kuria.

This was after Kuria told Kenyans that the price of fuel would increase every month and anyone who was discontent could drill their own oil.

Kuria moments after being admonished by the DP, stated that some people were suffering from an inferiority complex.

He later deleted the tweet and replaced it with a sarcastic apology to Gachagua and other leaders who were calling him out for arrogance.

“I have since been advised by people like Boni Khalwale and his master that the statement was incorrect, insensitive, and arrogant. I am made to understand that the price will come down,” he stated on September 20.

The former Gatundu South Member of Parliament was also facing challenges in his Trade docket over strained relations with the United States.

United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai on July 19, refused to meet Kuria during her high profile to Kenya for high-level trade negotiations.

Similarly, President William Ruto left out Kuria as he took a delegation to the United States for the continuation of the trade talks.

Coincidentally, Kuria’s removal from the Trade docket came a day after the US resumed free trade talks with Kenya.
