Boda Rider Saves Moses Kuria from Getting Late
Trade Cabinet Secretary, Moses Kuria, opted to brave the cold and use a motorbike after his driver delayed his arrival. He was headed for President William Ruto’s cabinet meeting being held at Kakamega State Lodge.
Kuria explained that he was being cautious about arriving late to the meeting. He wanted to avoid Ruto’s wrath as the President was strict on time and punctuality. His driver was said to have delayed picking him up, leading him to the nearest and fastest means of transport available.
Philip Etale, the boda rider, asked the CS where his driver was and why he wasn’t with his official car that early in the morning. According to Kuria, he was ready to leave for the meeting by 6:20 a.m., but his driver delayed.
“My driver is getting late. We are heading to a cabinet meeting and the president is currently very harsh. Stop the stories and let us go,” the CS responded to the rider.
Later, the CS announced that he had arrived for the meeting on time and then shared a video of the police welcoming him at the State Lodge.
Many Kenyans responded to His decision to use the motorbike. Many praised the President for his strict adherence to punctuality.
