In a bold statement on Saturday, Kuria directly named Health CS Aden Duale, Uasin Gishu Senator Jackson Mandago, and Tiaty MP William Kamket. He claimed the leaders had repeatedly made remarks suggesting the region views itself as superior.
Kuria wrote on X,
“In the recent past, I have listened to a number of leaders allege that there is a community that thinks it’s superior to others. From Kamket to Mandago to Aden Duale in Balambala today.”
He condemned the remarks as divisive and dangerous.

“Some of us have unapologetically said NO to returning this country to the politics of negative ethnicity. Equally, we will vehemently resist wholesale condemnation and collective punishment of an entire community.”
According to Kuria, individual grievances should never be generalized to target an entire community.
“If you have a problem with any individual from the Mt Kenya Community, do not take it out against an entire people. If Mt Kenya people have eaten your goat, let me know, and I will pay you back. Do not drive our backs against the wall. A point of no return may lead to very unintended consequences.”

Clash With Duale
This is not the first time Kuria has clashed with CS Duale. Recently, he criticized the CS for suggesting that the citizenship of Mediheal Hospital owner Swarup Mishra could be revoked over organ trafficking allegations.
Kuria blasted Duale, saying,
“Sometimes I wonder. When a Senior government official who is not in charge of immigration says we will cancel citizenship and deport so-and-so, do we ponder to think what investors will think of our country?”
He further lamented,
“Are we that unorthodox? What of investors’ confidence? What of due process? What of our credit rating? At this rate, from where shall we get jobs for these children of ours? Gracious Lord, hear us.”
