Moses Kuria has officially resigned from his position as Senior Economic Advisor to President William Ruto, marking an end to his tenure in government.

Kuria announced his departure via social media on Tuesday evening, following a meeting with the Head of State.

In his statement, Kuria expressed gratitude to President Ruto for the opportunity to serve, though he remained tight-lipped about his immediate future, only stating he would 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 posted.

He reflected on his time in public service, which included an 11-month stint as Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade and Industry, followed by nine months in Public Service, Delivery and Performance Management, and finally, 10 months as Senior Economic Advisor.

Kuria highlighted his pride in contributing to the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), which he co-designed with President Ruto as part of their 2022 electoral platform.

“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… Long Live Kenya,” he affirmed.

His appointment as Senior Advisor to Ruto’s Council of Economic Advisors came after he lost his Cabinet seat in 2024, a period marked by widespread Gen-Z-led protests that led to a significant reshuffle and the dismissal of all ministers by President Ruto. Kuria’s exit adds another chapter to his colourful and often unpredictable political career.
