President William Ruto’s close ally has hinted when he will fire Public Service Cabinet Secretary (CS) Justin Muturi.
Speaking on Monday, February 3, Belgut MP Nelson Koech said CS Muturi has been pushing the President to sack him.
Koech claimed that President Ruto will fire Muturi within the next two weeks.
He even added that Muturi can be sacked Muturi anytime from now.
“He is simply daring the president to fire, and I tell you that he has called for it and you will see it,” Koech said.
“In a week or two he will be home. He will be fired. He has pinched the President’s nose, and I call tell you for sure that he is a man going home. It can even be today.”
He accused Muturi of using the abduction issue for political gains.
When I see CS Muturi going to mortuaries, raising this matter in press conference with his attitude of late, I know what is happening politically.
Koech said Muturi should have raised the issue during cabinet meetings instead of going public.
Comparison to CJ Koome & Weyangula
He compared his complaints to those of Chief Justice Martha Koome and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula who also raised concerns over the same issue.
“I saw the Chief Justice and Speaker Wetangula raise the same issue. Those who are unbiased are raising it with serious concerns,” Koech said.
“The other two are running independent arms of government, this one is in the executive. He directly seats with the president; he should have raised it in cabinet.”
