Chama Cha Kazi

Chama Cha Kazi is a political party in Kenya. The party motto “Kazi na Pesa” loosely translates into “Work and Money”.[1]

History

The party was founded in 2021 by Moses Kuria after he left the People’s Empowerment Party.[1]

In April 2022, the party faced a schism.[2] They contested the 2022 Kenyan general election as part of Kenya Kwanza, and elected one MP.[3] Following his nomination as a cabinet secretary, Kuria started a process of disbanding his party to join the United Democratic Alliance.[4]
