Public Service CS Justin Muturi has made it clear—he’s not stepping down. Instead, he’s taking a stand, refusing to attend Cabinet meetings until the government addresses the rising cases of abductions and extrajudicial killings.
Muturi has already written to President William Ruto, informing him of his decision to boycott the meetings.
According to him, the Cabinet, being the top decision-making body, cannot afford to ignore these serious human rights violations.
His stance is personal—his own son, Leslie, was allegedly kidnapped by state operatives in 2024 during anti-government protests.
It took President Ruto’s direct intervention to get him released.
Now, Muturi is speaking up, refusing to stay silent while such injustices continue.
Some political figures have suggested he should resign, but Muturi is standing firm.
He says quitting would be an act of cowardice and that he’s ready to face the consequences for speaking the truth.
He’s now pushing for the formation of an independent commission to investigate the disappearances and killings.
He wants religious leaders, lawyers, and civil rights activists involved, ensuring that justice is served.
