Monday, January 13, 2025 - An outspoken Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) lawmaker has revealed the reason why Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has condemned President William Ruto over the ongoing issue of killings and abductions of young Kenyans.
Muturi, in a presser on Sunday, strongly criticized the Kenya Kwanza government over the abductions.
He said young Kenyans have gone missing since the Gen Z-driven June 2024 anti-government protests.
“The cardinal duty of the state
and the government is to protect the lives and livelihood of its citizens and
cannot claim to be unaware of such serious breaches of the rights of Kenyans to
live free from wrongful confinement and the violation of their inalienable
right to life,” he said.
The CS maintained that Kenya is
a democratic country and everyone is free to articulate their issues without
fear.
“The youth are part of Kenyan
society; we cannot just segregate them. If they have issues they want to raise
with the government, let them raise them, and let us allow them to raise them,”
he said.
“That is all what democracy is
all about; we are a democratic country.”
Reacting to Muturi’s statement,
Kileleshwa Ward MCA, Robert Alai, stated the CS is attacking Ruto because he has
sold his Democratic Party to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Alai further stated that
Gachagua is set to launch the party next week.
“Justin Muturi is bitching in
the media because he knows that he has sold Kibaki’s Democratic Party (DP) to
Gachagua. Gachagua is to unveil the party on Wednesday next week. CS Justin
Muturi believes that he will have proper support from the people if he exits
acrimoniously,” Alai wrote on X.
