Miguna blasts Moses Kuria over frequent use of Kikuyu on his Twitter page
Lawyer Miguna Miguna has warned Industrialisation, Trade and Investment Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria against his frequent use of his mother tongue on Twitter because he is a holder on an important public office.
In a tweet, Miguna advised Kuria to only speak in his mother tongue at his home not in his official social media pages.
“You are a Cabinet Secretary for the Republic of Kenya. You occupy a public office on behalf of 50 million Kenyans. Not only for the Agikuyu! Therefore, all your public communication including on your Twitter handle must be in English or Swahili. But you are free to communicate in your mother tongue in your household,” Miguna said.

“Patriots will condemn this every time it occurs until it stops or is stopped. Moses Kuria must understand that the ministry he currently occupies does not belong to him or those he speaks the same language with,” Miguna added.
This come hours after Mr Kuria made remarks in his native language on Twitter which he cannot publish here.
