Former Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has strongly condemned what he describes as increasing ethnic profiling targeting the Mt Kenya community, urging leaders to cease fanning divisive rhetoric.

• Kuria specifically called out Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and MPs William Kamket and Jackson Mandago for allegedly spreading claims of Mt Kenya leaders' superiority.
• Kuria, a former key ally of President William Ruto, warned that continued attacks could lead to "very unintended consequences" and a "point of no return."
• The remarks highlight growing political tension within the ruling Kenya Kwanza alliance, with some Mt Kenya leaders feeling sidelined despite their significant contribution to the 2022 election votes.
