Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has responded to impeachment threats directed at him following his controversial press conference on Sunday, where he appeared to criticize the government regarding the recent surge in abductions, including that of his own son.
While recording a statement about his son’s abduction at the Kilimani Police Station on Tuesday, Muturi asserted that he will not be intimidated by the remarks of relatively inexperienced politicians who are not worthy of his attention.
He maintained his commitment to confronting the government about abductions in the country, emphasizing that this issue is one that affects all Kenyans.
“I will just say bring it on. At my age, I’m not the kind of person to respond to some perfunctory statements made by fairly inexperienced politicians. I think they’re not worthy my response. So if anybody thinks that I don’t know what I was doing, they’re up for a rude shock,” he said.
When asked why he did not raise the matter in Cabinet, in which he sits, Muturi responded: “Cabinet does not operate ad-hoc; there must be Cabinet memorandum discussing the issue of, either, general insecurity or abductions. That has not been presented before Cabinet. And even if it were to come, it would come through the relevant Cabinet Secretary.”
Speaking during an education function at Nyamarambe Grounds in South Mugirango, Osoro criticized Muturi for publicly faulting the government instead of addressing the issue directly with President William Ruto in Cabinet meetings.
Osoro hence outlined three options for Muturi: resign, issue a public apology, or face impeachment when Parliament resumes.
