Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi was conspicuously missing in President William Ruto's first Cabinet meeting this year held at Kakamega State Lodge on Tuesday, January 21.
His absence followed his recent remarks targeting President Ruto's administration over its failure to resolve the spate of abductions in the country.
According to reports, the former Attorney General was allegedly not invited to the meeting, fuelling speculations of a possible fallout between him and the Head of State.
Muturi's absence also sparked questions on whether President Ruto could consider dismissing him from his Cabinet position barely three months after his appointment.
