“I Do Not Fear RUTO, He Is Human Like Me - Former AG JUSTIN MUTURI tells off President RUTO over intimidation politics

Wednesday, February 04, 2026 - Former Attorney General Justin Muturi has declared that he does not fear President William Ruto, insisting that leadership should never be built on intimidation.

Speaking during a radio interview on Wednesday, February 4^th, 2026, Muturi dismissed the notion that the Head of State commands unquestioned loyalty, saying Ruto is mistaken to believe that everyone should tremble whenever he speaks.

He accused the President of projecting himself as infallible, a trait he strongly rejects.

“Simuogopi Rais William Ruto. Yeye ni binadamu kama mimi, na anajua vyema mimi ni nani,” Muturi said.

The former AG argued that true leadership must be grounded in humility rather than fear.

According to him, the greatest challenge with Ruto’s style is the expectation that his words be treated as divine.

“Changamoto yake kubwa ni kutaka kila anapozungumza, ionekane kana kwamba ni Mungu mwenyewe amenena,” he remarked.

Muturi stressed that while he respects the office of the President, he cannot accept a culture where dissenting voices are branded as enemies.

He reminded Kenyans that democracy thrives on open debate and accountability, not silence and submission.

“Hilo ni jambo ambalo siwezi na sitawahi kulikubali,” he added, vowing to continue speaking his mind.

Muturi’s remarks come amid rising political tension, with several leaders questioning the Government’s approach to power and governance.
