Saturday, October 4, 2025 - Former Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade and Industry, Moses Kuria, has expressed deep disappointment over the stagnation of key industrial projects he initiated during his tenure.

In a post shared on his official X account on Saturday, October 4^th, 2025, Kuria reflected on his ambitious vision for Kenya’s economic transformation, lamenting that his efforts have not been sustained.

“Exactly 2 years ago, I left the Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry.”

“I had huge dreams for our country… I dreamt of rapid industrialisation,” he wrote.

Kuria recounted launching County Aggregation and Industrial Parks, along with several Special Economic Zones and Export Processing Zones aimed at boosting manufacturing and exports.

He also highlighted his role in advancing bilateral trade and regional integration, positioning Kenya as a magnet for foreign direct investment and business process outsourcing.

“My dream was to create millions of jobs for Gen Z,” Kuria stated, underscoring his commitment to youth employment and economic inclusivity.

However, the former CS did not hide his frustration with the current state of affairs.

“Looking back at the last 2 years, I am disappointed that this dream has been extinguished,” he declared.

“I refuse to give up on Kenya. We still have a great country with immense potential.”
