Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi was conspicuously missing during the swearing-in of Public Service Commissioners at KICC.
According to Muturi, PSC is an independent commission and CS is not a member of the commission.
He said his absence did not stop the swearing-in of the commissioners.
Muturi was also conspicuously missing during the first Cabinet meeting of 2025 held at State Lodge in Kakamega on Tuesday.
The meeting chaired by President William Ruto reached a series of resolutions, including the merger of 42 state corporations into 20 as a cost-cutting measure.
All of Ruto’s cabinet members were present at the meeting except Muturi.
When asked by this writer whether there was a compelling reason for his absence, Muturi replied with a simple “Yes” without expounding.
