Trade Cabinet Secretary (CS) Moses Kuria has weighed in on the resumption of bipartisan talks between the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition and Kenya Kwanza.

In a statement shared via his official X account, Kuria affirmed that the talks will be beneficial for the economic sector.

He lauded President William Ruto and Azimio supremo Raila Odinga for the move claiming that they were on the ‘right’ side of history.

“The resumption of bipartisan talks is good news for Investments and the economy in general. Violence is not the way to resolve political differences. Its time to pull together as a nation with a strong government and even stringer opposition to keep us in check. To my bosses William Ruto and Raila Odinga, you are on the RIGHT side of history.” Kuria wrote.

The CS further acknowledged that he was supporting the move and that other Kenyans were rallying behind the two leaders.

“All Kenyans are behind you for as long as we do not create another Mongrel like the Nusu Mkate confusion,” the statement added.
