Former Public Service CS Justin Muturi has opposed the calls urging people from the Mt. Kenya region to unite under a single political party.
Speaking on Sunday, August 24, Muturi noted that suggestions that the region should only back one political outfit undermine the principles of multiparty democracy.
“Our Constitution clearly states that Kenya shall be a multi-party democratic State, and every citizen has the right to belong to a political party of their choice. I’ve heard some of you suggest that people from Mt. Kenya should only rally behind one party, let me be clear, that is a firm no!” he stated.

Muturi moreover ruled out working with President Ruto, insisting that he cannot work with a leader who failed to address serious concerns, including extrajudicial killings
The remarks come weeks after Muturi slammed President Ruto after he signed the Conflict of Interest Act, 2025, into law.
In a statement on Thursday, July 31, Muturi noted that the main challenge in the fight against corruption is not the absence of laws, but the lack of political goodwill.
Muturi further emphasized that the fight against graft must begin at the highest levels of government, including State House.
He went on to claim that state agencies mandated to fight corruption are themselves caught in the web of the very vice they are meant to uproot.
