Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi is expected to be dismissed imminently, according to Belgut Member of Parliament Nelson Koech.
In an interview with Citizen TV, Koech suggested that Muturi has effectively invited his own removal by openly criticizing the government regarding abductions and extrajudicial killings, specifically targeting President William Ruto.
Muturi has voiced his concerns about the government’s handling of abductions, particularly involving young individuals, and has brushed off any threats to his position within the Cabinet.
Koech believes this defiance is a challenge to the President.
“I am aware of the political dynamics at play. He is essentially daring the president to take action against him. He has set the stage for his own dismissal, and I predict that within a week or two, CS Muturi will no longer be in office,” Koech stated.
As a former Attorney General, Muturi has highlighted the detrimental impact of ongoing abductions and killings on the nation’s image, urging President Ruto to respond decisively.
“He has provoked the president, and I can assure you, he is on his way out. It could happen as soon as today,” Koech added.
During a press conference at City Mortuary, where the remains of two of four young men abducted in Mlolongo were discovered, Muturi expressed his deep concern over the persistent disappearances and murders of Kenyan youth.
“This is a heinous crime. It is imperative that the nation prioritizes discussions on the issue of abductions and extrajudicial killings,” Muturi stated, calling for a thorough investigation into the escalating crisis.
Supporters of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have since criticized Duale and other UDA lawmakers for their calls for Muturi’s resignation.
