Former Public Service CS Moses Kuria described a recent job offer as a mortuary attendant, received after his dismissal, as harsh. The offer came from an unknown individual.
In an interview on Citizen TV, Kuria shared that he has been receiving harsh messages from some Kenyans since his removal from the Cabinet. He expressed that, as a human being, such messages affect him deeply. Kuria added that being in his position is not easy.
"Somebody sent me a message on my phone offering me a job ati 'hey niaje mzito, kuna job hapa kwa mortuary, unaonaje? Utaichukua?' It’s harsh, it’s terrible," the former CS said.

Having done the work I have done for this country within a short period, and I agree with the need for change and having a clear mind, of course, I am human. It is not easy and I sympathize with them."
He talked of a reputable media house, which he did not mention, that has made it a routine to troll him every day.
"There’s a particular media house which has dedicated 10 minutes of their time every morning to trolling me. It is not easy."
The former CS reflected on the events that have unfolded since his departure from the Cabinet and shared his future plans. Kuria stated that he now wishes to lead a private life, stepping away from public service.
He revealed that he intends to continue working on his book, which he began writing in January of this year. Additionally, Kuria mentioned that he has received invitations to lecture at international events, which he plans to pursue as part of his future endeavors.
"I am doing my private things, I am writing my book. I started writing my book in January. I have had a lot of invitations even before to speak at international forums and events about global issues. I am not short of things to do."
