What you need to know:

  • Appearing to refer to Mr Gachagua’s oft-quoted statement that the government was a shareholding business and those who voted for it would be the first in line for appointments and development, Mr Kuria on Thursday said every Kenyan, irrespective of where they are, play a role in production and development of the country and are therefore shareholders.
  • The CS blamed the problems Kenyans were facing on the segregation witnessed with the introduction of Sessional Paper Number 10 of 1965.
  • The paper argued that the government should focus development on where it stands to gain the most returns, and in turn further marginalised under-developed areas of Kenya.

Investments, Trade and Industry Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has taken yet another swipe at Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, in a meeting in opposition leader Raila Odinga’s Siaya backyard.
