CS Muturi launches another attack against Ruto administration
Public CS Justin Muturi hits out at Ruto administration for launching new projects while many are stalled
Public Service CS Justin Muturi hits out at Ruto administration for launching new projects while many are stalled.
Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has criticised the government for launching new road projects while several ongoing ones remain incomplete.
Speaking before the National Assembly Labour Committee on Thursday, Muturi expressed concerns over the government’s tendency to initiate multiple projects without ensuring the completion of existing ones.
His remarks add to his recent criticisms of the very administration he serves in.
The CS further castigated the government over how the funding for the construction of the roads is being done in the country.
”I do not know whether there is something wrong with our psyche as a country, I have traveled around this country and noted that there are some projects that have stalled for more than 30 years,” Muturi told the lawmakers.
”If you do not have enough resources to do all of them, then can you finish one? Can we get enough allocation to finish one and then do the one that follows later,” he added.
The CS recounted to the committee his recent nationwide tour, highlighting his visit to Makueni County, where he came across numerous incomplete government housing projects.
”I went to some place called Wote in Makueni County where there are houses whose construction started more than 30 years ago and are still stalled,” he narrated.

Muturi has increasingly been a vocal critic of the government he serves, particularly in recent months, where he has condemned issues such as abductions and forced disappearances.
President William Ruto has continued to announce the launch of new development projects and make promises of more, despite the government’s ongoing challenges in securing adequate budgetary resources to fund them.
Meanwhile, the CS told the parliamentary committee that Kenyans will not lose their jobs following the Cabinet resolution to dissolve and merge some state corporations.
According to Muturi, if the need for job losses were to arise, the government would face the challenge of providing compensation to affected employees.
”Even if there were to arise a need for retrenchment, appropriate compensatory processes would have to be sought out,” he added.
