Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has been fired as President William Ruto effected mini-changes in his Cabinet.
Ruto has named Mbeere North Member of Parliament Geoffrey Ruku as the new Public Service CS nominee.
The move by Ruto comes barely a day after the Head of State referred to Muturi as 'inco
mpetent' when he served as the Attorney General.
The CS has been a vocal critic of the government, even skipping Cabinet meetings.
In a recent interview, he revealed that he formally requested President Ruto to excuse him from attending Cabinet meetings until the issue of abductions and extrajudicial killings is prioritized for discussion.
"Attending Cabinet meetings is mandatory unless one has permission from the President, which is what I sought," Muturi stated on Citizen TV.
He insisted that his decision was not insubordination, as he had formally written to the Cabinet chair seeking exemption.
For the first time, President Ruto on Tuesday openly displayed his differences with Muturi.
It all began on Tuesday when Ruto described Muturi as someone who was ‘fairly incompetent’ when he served as Attorney General.
