Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi is seemingly daring President William Ruto to sack him.

Muturi has written to his boss asking to be excused from Cabinet meetings, and says he is not afraid to be kicked out due to his stand on what is believed to be State-sponsored abductions of government critics.

And despite his alleged falling out with the President, the former Attorney General insists he would not resign from Government, explaining that it would amount to an act of cowardice. "When I took oath of office, I was acutely aware of provisions of Article132 on the powers of the hiring authority to hire and fire.

If I am fired for speaking against abductions and extrajudicial killings, which is unconstitutional and we as Government campaigned against and vowed will never happen under our watch, so be it," he said.
