Diring the meeting, he noted that the PS briefed him on the activities of the ministry, adding that he was focused on his work.

Muturi, who has rubbed shoulders with some government officials including CSs, missed the Tuesday Cabinet meeting chaired by President William Ruto.

The reasons behind his no-show were not revealed. However, it raised questions over the timing, given that he had been criticized by allies of Ruto for exposing details of the abduction of his son.

In particular, leaders called for his resignation from the government after he linked the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to the abduction of his son.

"This desperate move, made now that your political career has waned, is a clear blackmail attempt. The timing is highly suspicious," Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi stated.

"In regards to your son's woes, who is my age mate, was he abducted without a reason? Furthermore, there are many Embu professionals who can serve the country with zeal. You can ship out."
