Cracks in President William Ruto's Cabinet appear to be widening as Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi accused his Public Service counterpart Justin Muturi of injuring the reputation of the government.

Wandayi's comments and choice of words depicted cracks and disquiet over Muturi's criticism of the government over the abduction of his son.  Wandayi accused Muturi of erring, considering his position in government as a Cabinet Secretary.

Speaking at Manyala Village in Suba Central yesterday, Wandayi said Muturi's statement breached policies governing national security.

He said the National Intelligence Service is a sensitive government institution which should not be attacked in public. "The NIS should not be attacked by leaders anyhow due to its sensitivity in handling national security," Wandayi said.
