Former Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has denied President William Ruto's claims that he was sacked for absconding from duties. Instead, he linked his dismissal to his remarks on extrajudicial killings. Speaking on Wednesday, April 2, Muturi stated, "Since my reasons for not attending Cabinet are clearly stated, the inference one draws from my sacking is that raising the issue of abductions and extrajudicial killings must have terribly annoyed the President." On Monday this week, Ruto, in a one-on-one interview at Sagana State Lodge, blamed Muturi for his own dismissal. "Then, in the process, he went on strike, skipping Cabinet meetings.
So, am I the one who fired him, or did he fire himself?
If you are a CS and you don't attend meetings, what am I supposed to do?" Ruto said. But Muturi, in a rebuttal, defended his absence from Cabinet meetings, arguing that his requests to discuss extrajudicial killings had been ignored. "There have been three Cabinet meetings this year.
The first was on January 21 at Kakamega State Lodge.
