CS Muturi Told to Resign or Face Censure Motion After Abduction Remarks
Aldai MP Marianne Kitany threatened to file a censure motion against Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi on Tuesday, January 14, over his criticism of the government and the recent abductions in Kenya. She also called for his resignation, accusing him of undermining the government he is part of.
“CS Justin Muturi should step down. He can’t criticize a government he’s a part of; it’s not possible. If he refuses to resign, I’ll push for a censure motion against him in parliament,” Kitany said.
A close ally of President William Ruto, Kitany criticized Muturi for discussing abductions in the media, claiming that ordinary citizens couldn’t help address the issue.
“Muturi is in the Cabinet, where he can raise his concerns. By going to the media about abductions, what does he expect regular Kenyans to do?” Kitany remarked.
Muturi had criticized the government during a press briefing on Sunday, January 12, at Nairobi’s Serena Hotel, revealing that his son was abducted in June amid anti-government protests. He expressed frustration at the lack of action, recalling that despite his previous calls to security agencies, nothing was done.

The CS, who had served as Attorney General and a member of the National Security Council, shared his pain over his son’s abduction, which he described as a forced disappearance.
“Under the past regime, we accused them of abductions and forced disappearances. Today, it’s happening again, mainly targeting young people,” Muturi said.
However, Kitany disagreed with Muturi, arguing that he should have used his position within the government to address his son’s abduction directly.
“The Cabinet is the highest decision-making body in Kenya. Muturi should have gone there to seek answers about his son’s abduction,” she pointed out.
Muturi’s comments have sparked intense debate, hinting at a growing rift within the country’s leadership regarding its governance.
