Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has yet again attacked the media, defying a court order barring him from uttering insulting words against media practitioners.
Speaking on Saturday, June 24 in Murang’a County, CS Kuria referred to the media as prostitutes, vowing to respond to the press when they report wrongly.
Kuria also asked the media to give the current administration time to work for Kenyans, claiming they were with the previous regime for ten years.
“I said recently an arrow in the night, these ******* from the media, how they come at me is how I will respond to them. The way they feel hurt when I call them that, is the same way we are hurt when they wrongly accuse us and they should give us time to work, they were with the previous government for 10 years,” he said.

Moses Kuria preventing him from uttering and expressing any insulting, demeaning. Belittling, condescending, disdainful, disparaging or vilifying words against any Media Practitioner(s) within the meaning of Article 34 of the Constitution of Kenya,” the order read.
