Sudi angrily slams Muturi over obsession with Ruto
Kapseret Member of Parliament (MP) Oscar Sudi has slammed former Public Service Cabinet Secretary (CS) Justin Muturi over his obsession with President William Ruto.
In a statement on X on Thursday, May 15, 2025, Oscar angrily asked the former Attorney General (AG) to move on.
“Men don’t miss each other, or are you Ruto’s wife to be called on a daily basis? Learn to move on, my friend!” he stated.
This comes hours after the former CS revealed that Ruto ceased responding to his calls after the funeral of Eric Mutugi Kivuti, son of former Embu Senator Lenny Kivuti.
In a statement, Muturi stated that they have not spoken since and that he does not miss him.
“President Ruto stopped picking my calls after the funeral of Lenny Kivuti’s son. We haven’t spoken since, and I don’t miss it. I only used to call him when it was absolutely necessary. So I said, to hell with it! He is not someone I cannot live without,” read the statement.
This comes a day after the High Court was told that Muturi resigned from office voluntarily.
The petition
In submissions made before Justice Lawrence Mugambi on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, the government presented a resignation letter dated July 11, 2024, signed by Muturi and addressed to President William Ruto.
The letter was submitted as part of an affidavit by Arthur Osiya, Principal Administrative Secretary in the Executive Office of the President.
“The letter is signed by the Honourable Justin Muturi, dated July 11, 2024, addressed to His Excellency the President, and was received on the same day,” said State Counsel Emmanuel Bitta, representing the government.
The government made the revelation during a hearing of a petition filed by seven citizens led by Nakuru-based physician Dr Magare Gikenyi, who are challenging the legality of Justin Muturi’s removal from office.
The petitioners argue that the president acted outside the law in declaring that he had “fired” the attorney general without due process.
According to the Constitution, the Attorney General is an independent officeholder whose removal must follow clear legal grounds, including gross misconduct, incompetence, or violation of the Constitution. The petitioners cite Articles 47, 236, 248, and 249 in support of their case.
Following Muturi’s departure, President Ruto nominated Dorcas Agik Oduor as the new Attorney General in a letter dated July 30, 2024. The position was declared vacant via a gazette notice.
