Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi will be fired from the government. National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wa has confirmed.
In an interview with Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hasan, Ichung’wa said that the former Attorney General was removed from that position with reason.
While Ichung’wa failed to explain or reveal the reasons why Muturi was ousted as attorney general, he said that the CS was in bad standing with President William Ruto and his government.
At the same time, the National Assembly majority leader stated that Justin Muturi was on his way out of the government, and he was already aware of it.
“There are reasons why Justin Muturi was removed as attorney general around the time of the demonstrations in June of last year. There are reasons probably why Justin Muturi knows that he is probably on his way out,” said Ichung’wa.
