Former CS Kuria Points Fingers At ‘Colleagues’ Who Sabotaged His Performance At Public Service[LIST]
Former CS Kuria Points Fingers: Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has come out to speak against “terrible” bureaucracy in the public service which he says is partly to blame for poor service delivery by the government.
He stated, “It is terrible! Terrible! The bureaucracy in government is terrible! Sometimes you want to do the right things and wonder if those people care… in the Ministry of Trade and Investments, for example, you go to investors who have places to take their money and convince them, and they choose Kenya… and you think you have bagged them, but when you come home…”
“Some spend months mark-timing, travelling to and from, and those are the investments supposed to create jobs. It makes me sad, really sad about this country,”
He Dismissed Cabinet Secretary went ahead to point out that he experienced “sabotage” from junior public servants.
He stated,“It is like some people in government are trained on how to say ‘No’… sometimes you are sabotaged by accounting officers and directors who take their sweet time. They start with the answer ‘No’ and then draft the reasons,”
“I hope the new set of Cabinet is going to find an environment where people want to do the right things,” the former CS said, telling public servants: “If you don’t change the way you are doing things, even this Cabinet will not succeed,”
Kuria further revealed that he plans on leading a private life away from Government matters.
He stated,”I really want to live a private life. I consider this to be my exit interview. Turning the trajectory of a country takes a lot of time… I draw a lot of inspiration from the work I did as MP for Gatundu South,”
”in the fullness of time, I know that I will be vindicated and for that reason, I know that my reward with the people of Kenya and most certainly with God is a deferred promise,” he added.
