In his own words: Latest from CS Muturi

Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi was conspicuously missing during the swearing-in of Public Service Commissioners at KICC.

According to Muturi, PSC is an independent commission and CS is not a member of the commission.

He said his absence did not stop the swearing-in of the commissioners.

Muturi was also conspicuously missing during the first Cabinet meeting of 2025 held at State Lodge in Kakamega on Tuesday.

The meeting chaired by President William Ruto reached a series of resolutions, including the merger of 42 state corporations into 20 as a cost-cutting measure.

All of Ruto’s cabinet members were present at the meeting except Muturi.

When asked by this writer whether there was a compelling reason for his absence, Muturi replied with a simple “Yes” without expounding.
