Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria clashed publicly with his brother, Aloise Kinyanjui, during a church service in Juja after promising jobs to youths.
The confrontation unfolded in church when Kinyanjui, a DCP ally, directly challenged Kuria’s remarks, accusing him of misleading young people over government job opportunities.
Kuria had initially lined up a group of youths and asked that their documents be prepared, so they could be granted work opportunities, after which Kinyanjui slammed him openly.
“There are no jobs for you. This government is done with, and they have no opportunities for you. They are lying to you. However, I have pledged Sh20,000, which I will give before I leave. It is wrong to lie before the Lord,” Kinyanjui said.
The bitter exchange exposed deep political divisions within the family, with the two reportedly aligned with opposing camps in the region.

The incident sparked drama during the service, exposing the heightened political tensions playing out at the grassroots level.
In the aftermath, Kuria appeared to link the fallout to DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of fuelling divisions.
“Dear Rigathi Gachagua, you have divided my family in order to embarrass me. The same way you have tried to divide Kenyans along tribal lines, thinking you are embarrassing Ruto,” Kuria said on X.
He further warned of political consequences ahead.
“Going forward you will lose a lot of weight.”
The duo has been squaring it out in public, even as they support opposing political sides.
During a recent rally in Githunguri, Kinyanjui directly addressed his brother’s claims regarding the loyalty of elected officials within his party.
He rejected assertions that members could be influenced by external interests and criticised Kuria for focusing on party politics rather than pressing local issues.
This public exchange follows a history of legal and personal friction between the siblings, including a 2025 dispute over election costs that further complicated their relationship.
