CS Justin Muturi Fired
President William Ruto has officially fired Cabinet Secretary (CS) Justin Muturi, who was in charge of the Ministry of Public Service, Human Capital Development & Special Programmes. This unexpected move, announced on March 26, 2025, signals a significant shake-up in Ruto’s administration as he seeks to realign his government.
A Major Cabinet Reshuffle
Muturi’s removal comes amidst a broader Cabinet reshuffle, which has seen:
- Hon. Geoffrey K. Kiringa Ruku nominated as the new Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Public Service, Human Capital Development & Special Programmes.
- Other key reassignments, including Hon. Aden Bare Duale moving to the Ministry of Health and Dr. Deborah Mlonga Barasa taking over the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry.
What’s Next for Muturi?
As a former Speaker of the National Assembly and seasoned politician, Justin Muturi’s next move remains uncertain. Some speculate that he may seek an alternative political role or return to legal practice, while others believe he may challenge his dismissal through legal or political avenues.
