The opposition and journalist associations have called for Kuria to be censured, arguing that his behavior renders him unfit for public office.
He boldly stated, “Any government department that I see has advertised on Nation Media (platforms), consider yourself fired.”
Censure Motion and Opposition Protests
The Kenya Union of Journalists (KUJ) described Kuria as “becoming a symbol of national shame,” while the Media Council of Kenya, an industry regulator, considered his remarks as a threat to press freedom and tarnishing Kenya’s global image.
Ultimately, Kuria narrowly won the fiercely contested presidential race against Raila Odinga, who continues to protest that the election was stolen from him.
