Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has narrated how President William Ruto convinced him to take up the Attorney General position after declining the role several times.

Muturi, who spoke during an interview on NTV on Friday morning, revealed that he initially rejected the government position due to the demanding nature of the job.

However, moments after declining the offer, Muturi disclosed that President Ruto sent the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetang'ula, to convince him to take the role.

Muturi recalled holding a private meeting with Wetang'ula in Karen, Nairobi, where they discussed the Attorney General position.
