Moses Kuria, the former Trade Cabinet Secretary, has voiced strong concerns about President Ruto's new anti-corruption team, questioning its framework and leadership under the Executive Office of the President. He welcomed the effort to fight graft but argued the current structure risks undermining checks and balances, calling President Ruto its "prefect."

• Kuria stated the team's leadership under the Executive Office of the President allows for potential connivance without external checks, warning of "weaponisation."
• He noted that agencies like the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) already possess the mandate to combat corruption, viewing the team's addition as merely a "prefect."
• Kuria questioned the timing of the team's unveiling, suggesting a possible "sinister motive by the Executive to control independent bodies," with neither Parliament nor the Judiciary represented.
