In a social media post, Kuria wrote: “Leaders, let us serve our people. One day, we will go to Heaven and God will ask us questions.
Many of the leaders you see here will burn in hell because they are not doing the things that God wants.”
The remarks quickly went viral, drawing sharp reactions from politicians, religious leaders, and members of the public across the political divide.
Supporters hailed Kuria’s comments as bold and prophetic, arguing that they reflect the frustration of ordinary Kenyans grappling with economic hardship, corruption scandals, and what they perceive as detached leadership.
Critics, however, accused him of using inflammatory language and religious fear to score political points, warning that such rhetoric risks deepening divisions in an already polarized country.
This is not the first time Kuria has framed Kenya’s political challenges in spiritual terms. In August 2025, while speaking at a funeral in Dagoretti South, he cautioned that the country was on the wrong path and may have angered God.
At the time, Kuria urged leaders to rise above partisan interests, warning that Kenya required serious reflection and moral intervention from religious leaders to avert national decline.
During that address, Kuria appealed to veteran politicians not to “destroy the country,” emphasizing that Kenya belongs to the younger generation and should be safeguarded for future generations.

His resignation from government earlier in the year, he said then, was informed by concerns that the nation was drifting away from its core values.
The latest remarks have reignited scrutiny over Kuria’s political posture and messaging, especially his tendency to blend faith with governance.
While Kenya is a deeply religious society, analysts note that invoking hellfire and divine punishment in political discourse can be both powerful and perilous.
