Ex-Adviser Blasts Top Officials for Silence as Kenyatta Faces Attacks

A former senior aide to Kenya's president has publicly criticized two high-profile figures for not defending ex-President Uhuru Kenyatta. Moses Kuria, who served as an economic adviser, singled out Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi and Member of Parliament Jeremiah Kioni. He accused them of staying silent while allies of current President William Ruto verbally attack Kenyatta. Kuria's comments highlight growing political tensions. They focus on the perceived lack of support for the former head of state from within his previous political circle. The criticism places direct pressure on Matiangi, a powerful cabinet secretary, and Kioni, a known political figure. Both were previously considered allies of Kenyatta.
