Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has opened up on his plans after he was fired from the Cabinet by President William Ruto.
Speaking on Monday in an interview, Kuria revealed that he now wants to lead a very private life.
He went on to say that he considered the Monday interview his last as he retreats to leading a private life.
He, however, noted that in his private life, he will continue to push for Constitutional reforms in the country.
“I really want to lead a private life. I consider this interview to be my exit interview; this is my last interview. Even as I retreat to my private life, one of the things I will give my voice and energy to is the reform of this Constitution,” Kuria said on Citizen TV.
The former CS mentioned that he played a part in the formation of the Constitution of Kenya, in 2010 and that a lot of things were dumped into it.
At the time, Kuria said he ran the Communication of former President Mwai Kibaki’s team on the making of the constitution.
He stated that the things in the Constitution were included because the country came from a very wounded time, and it is they are relooked.
He said some independent commissions should be done away with as well as the counties, because they are not economical.
“We pumped into this constitution things because we came from a very wounded past. Everybody wanted to 'let's have independence of this commission, let's have something for gender', As a result, part of the biggest duplication we have in government is this issue of independent commissions and offices.
“I think the bulk of them should go. We need to look at independence if it is just on paper to make people feel good. Counties also need to be fixed. Our counties are uneconomical,” Kuria said.
After his exit from Cabinet, Kuria has been calling for Constitutional reforms in the country.
He further stated that he started writing his book in January adding that he will dedicate most of his time to it.
Kuria said he has also received offers to speak on global issues in forums abroad.
"I am doing my private things, I am writing my book. I started writing my book in January. I have a lot of invitations even before to speak in international forums and events about global issues. I am not short of things to do."
