Why my former Cabinet colleagues no longer pick my calls; Muturi
Former Public Service Justin Muturi has sustained his attacks against President William Ruto, this time alleging that he has created an atmosphere of fear within the Cabinet, discouraging members from communicating openly.
Muturi, who spoke on Friday during a live TV interview, disclosed that most of his former colleagues in Cabinet no longer pick up his calls, including even on WhatsApp.
Muturi claimed the Cabinet Secretaries are “too” scared that they might be found to have spoken to him hence face repercussions.
He went on to allege that some CS instead ask him to use alternative phone lines or have others call on his behalf to avoid detection.
“They tell me, get somebody to call on your behalf then we can talk.”
The former minister had been asked to state whether there are some other CSs who share his views on how the government operates.
“I don’t know. You know many of them are very timid. They don’t want to speak,” he added.
President Ruto fired Muturi on March 26 through a communication issued by Head of Public Service Felix Koskei.
In a past event, Ruto described him as incompetent.

While speaking on Monday during an interview at Sagana State Lodge in Nyeri, he reaffirmed this, noting Muturi’s decision to boycott work cost him his job.
“I gave him a ministerial position, then, in the process, he went on strike, skipping Cabinet meetings. So, am I the one who fired him, or did he fire himself? If you are a CS and you don’t attend meetings, what am I supposed to do?” he posed.
He also defended his record for the time he served as Attorney General saying one of the key things he delivered on was making the state law office independent, a promise they made to the people of Kenya during campaigns.
“I don’t have to defend myself about that, the record is there for everybody to see. When I got there we had committed ourselves in the manifesto that we will make the office of the state law independent. I went there, and I did exactly that with the concurrence of parliament,” he explained.
