In a fiery outburst that has sent political tremors across the country, Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has launched a scathing attack on former Public Service CS Justin Muturi, questioning his integrity and accusing him of playing dirty politics after being sacked.
Speaking on Nation FM Monday morning, Mwaura tore into Muturi, branding him dishonest and opportunistic for choosing to “speak out” only after losing his job. According to Mwaura, if Muturi truly had moral objections to how the government was run, he should have done what honorable leaders do—step down.
“If you had issues with the way things were handled in Cabinet, you should’ve walked out on principle—not waited to be shown the door,” Mwaura said, visibly incensed.
He called out the timing of Muturi’s revelations, accusing him of seeking political mileage from his dismissal. “You don’t wait until you’re fired to start throwing stones. That’s not bravery—it’s betrayal.”
Mwaura drew comparisons to Kenya’s political icons like Mwai Kibaki, Raila Odinga, Martha Karua, and Kenneth Matiba, who boldly resigned when they could no longer align with government decisions. Their actions, he said, were rooted in principle, not bitterness.
“Real leaders don’t cling to power while simmering with resentment. If something clashes with your conscience, you resign—you don’t linger and later pretend to be the hero of truth.”
Mwaura, a close ally of President William Ruto, dismissed claims made by Muturi that Cabinet meetings were stifled by fear. He described them as open forums, stating that while debates can be intense, once decisions are made, collective responsibility is non-negotiable.
“You air your views inside the room, not in front of cameras after being kicked out. That’s how government discipline works. That’s how integrity is preserved.”
With this explosive response, Mwaura has thrown down the gauntlet and reignited debate over political accountability, loyalty, and ethics in high office. As tensions rise, Kenyans are left wondering—was Muturi a silent reformer… or just another disgruntled politician crying foul when it no longer benefits him?
