CS Muturi skips Cabinet meeting amid standoff over abductions

Images seen by Citizen Digital revealed Muturi's absence in the morning as President William Ruto met his other 22 Cabinet Secretaries.

Muturi's absence is ostensibly due to his standoff with the State over the spate of abductions witnessed in December 2024.

The CS chided national security over the disappearance of youthful Kenyans, demanding answers on why his son was also abducted in June 2024.

"I have personally suffered as my son was abducted leaving my family in turmoil," he said.

"I've not gotten any answers as to why my son was abducted, held incommunicado and nobody gave any reasons for that abduction."

His remarks have invited threats from political leaders, among them National Assembly Majority Whip Sylvanus Osoro, warning him that he faces impeachment if he does not apologise to President Ruto.

Muturi has boldly vowed to take on his political nemesis, stating he will not cower to threats from junior politicians.

“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.
