Former Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has advised President William Ruto to resign from office, accusing the head of state of dishonesty and a failure in leadership.
In a post shared via his X account on Thursday, May 15, Muturi noted that Ruto is unfit to hold office and has become a habitual liar.
"My advice to President William Ruto: Mr. President, please do the honorable thing and resign. You have demonstrated that you are unfit to hold the highest office in the land.
"You have become an incorrigible liar. Kenyans know it, and it is deeply hurting for citizens to see their President telling lies in broad daylight," he said.

This comes a day after Muturi called out Ruto after acknowledging abductions in the country.
In an update on Wednesday, May 14, Muturi stated that Ruto's recent remarks on the abductions confirmed the government’s involvement.
"He just confirmed what I’ve been saying all along! What was so difficult about simply acknowledging that these were state-sponsored killings and abductions, and putting a stop to them sooner?” he posed.
Speaking on Monday, May 12, Ruto sparked mixed reactions after saying Kenyans who were abducted during the Gen Z protests were reunited with their families.
He made the revelation while responding to questions raised by journalists during the joint press briefing with Finland's President Alexander Stubb.
While Ruto did not reveal those who were behind the abductions, he said accountability measures were being put in place to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.
"All the people who disappeared or were abducted in what you said (Gen Z protests) have been brought back to their families and their homes.
"I have given firm instructions that nothing of that kind of nature will ever happen again. It was my commitment as I became President that the extrajudicial disappearance of Kenyans would not be part of what we are doing as a nation," he stated.
