Moses Kuria decries targeted destruction in Mt Kenya during protests
By Aloys Michael, June 26, 2025The Senior Presidential Advisor, Moses Kuria, has raised the alarm over widespread looting and destruction of property in the Mt. Kenya region during the nationwide Gen Z demos held on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
Kuria, an outspoken government figure and former MP, claimed the region suffered a disproportionately heavy price and used the moment to reaffirm his controversial declaration: there will be no elections in 2027.
In a statement shared on his X official account on Thursday, June 26, 2025, Kuria itemized a series of locations across central Kenya where businesses and public institutions were ransacked or burned.
“Shops around Koja and OTC were looted and vandalised. Shops in Roysambu were looted and vandalised. Nanas Mall Thika looted and vandalised,” Kuria listed.
“Carrefour Ruiru looted and vandalised. Naivas in Nyeri looted and vandalised.”
But perhaps the most serious destruction, he said, occurred in Nyandarua County.
“All public institutions in Ol Kalou including police stations, ID Offices, County Commissioner’s Office and County Government Offices burnt down,” he reported.
Kuria claimed the scale and focus of the destruction validated his long-standing warnings about the country’s political trajectory.
“Mt Kenya paid a disproportionately heavy price yesterday. Again,” he stated, implying a targeted campaign against the region.

Kuria’s prophecy?
He said he has been vindicated on his earlier remarks on the 2027 general polls where he said that there will be a consensus. He predicted that the 2027 presidential election will mirror Kenya’s historic 2002 poll.
The 2002 poll was a moment of broad political consensus that swept Mwai Kibaki to power in a landslide.
Speaking on a local TV station on June 22, 2025, Kuria said the 2027 contest will not feature the typical political fight for the presidency.
Instead, he predicted a national agreement among key political players to avoid chaos and safeguard the country’s future.
“Let me shock you,” Kuria said. “Some people are training for a football match that will not happen.”
He likened the anticipated political mood to that of 2002, when opposition leaders united to defeat the long-ruling Kenya African National Union regime, culminating in Kibaki’s overwhelming win.
“2027 will be like 2002. There will be no presidential election — there will be a consensus,” he declared.
Kuria said that just as Kibaki had already been accepted by most political heavyweights before Kenyans went to the ballot in 2002, a similar consensus is likely to emerge ahead of 2027.
“Have you ever seen that margin again?” he asked, referencing Kibaki’s historic victory.
He dismissed comparisons to the closely contested elections of 2013 and 2017, suggesting that current political dynamics are leading the country toward consensus, not confrontation.
“There’s not going to be that kind of presidential contest. Some people are training for football, but it will be a tennis match,” Kuria quipped.
He urged national leaders to come together and agree on a way forward to avoid plunging the country into crisis.
“We have two options: go out one day and destroy the nation, or let’s agree. Let there be honour among men and women,” he said.
