NAIROBI, Kenya — Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has announced his resignation from the position of Senior Economic Advisor to President William Ruto.
Kuria conveyed his departure via social media following a meeting with President Ruto, expressing gratitude to the Head of State for the opportunity to serve in government.
While remaining largely undisclosed about his immediate future plans, the former CS indicated his intention to pursue personal interests. “This evening I have met my boss and my friend, President William Ruto. The President has graciously accepted my decision to resign from government,” Kuria stated.
He further expressed his appreciation for the tenure in various governmental capacities: “I thank President Ruto for having given me an opportunity to serve as Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade and Industry for 11 months, Public Service, Delivery and Performance Management for 9 months and Senior Economic Advisor for the last 10 months.”

Kuria reflected on his contributions to the current administration’s economic blueprint, noting, “As I move on to pursue personal interests, I am proud of the work the President and I did to implement the Bottom Up Economic Transformation Agenda, which I designed together with the President as our 2022 Electoral Platform. Long Live Kenya.”
His most recent role as Senior Advisor to Ruto’s Council of Economic Advisors followed his departure from a Cabinet position. Kuria had lost his Cabinet seat in 2024 subsequent to the Gen-Z-led protests, which prompted President Ruto to undertake a comprehensive dismissal of his ministerial team.
