Public Service Cabinet Secretary and former speaker Justin Muturi has jeered at impeachment threats against him after his controversial presser on Sunday. Muturi’s son was allegedly abductef by security operatives.
In his statement, Muturi blasted the government over the recent wave of abductions, which his own son Leslie was also abducted.
Speaking after recording a statement on his son’s abduction at the Kilimani Police Station on Tuesday, Muturi said he will not be threatened by statements from “inexperienced politicians” who he said do not even deserve his response.
“I will just say bring it on. At my age, I’m not the kind of person to respond to some perfunctory statements made by fairly inexperienced politicians. I think they’re not worthy my response. So if anybody thinks that I don’t know what I was doing, they’re up for a rude shock,” he said.
Muturi further said that the matter on abductions has not been presented before the cabinet adding that if it were to comes it would com through the relevant Cabinet secretary.
“Cabinet does not operate ad-hoc; there must be Cabinet memorandum discussing the issue of, either, general insecurity or abductions. That has not been presented before Cabinet. And even if it were to come, it would come through the relevant Cabinet Secretary.”
Muturi’s statement comes after National Assembly Majority Whip Sylvanus Osoro announced plans to impeach him over what he termed as undermining the government.

Speaking in a function at Nyamarambe in South Mugirango, Osoro scolded Muturi for publicly faulting the government instead of addressing the issue directly with President William Ruto in Cabinet meetings.
Speaking to the press on Sunday, the CS gave account of his family’s ordeal following the reported abduction of his son, Leslie Muturi, in June 2024.
Leslie was reportedly kidnapped in Nairobi’s Lavington area and later released.
Muturi expressed frustration at the lack of transparency, saying that he has not received any answers as to why his son was abducted, held incommunicado, and no reasons were given for the ordeal.
Muturi further criticized the government’s silence, urging security agencies to provide data on the number of youths abducted, those released, and those still missing.
