CS Muturi Launches Another Attack On Ruto Over New Stalled Projects
Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has chastised the administration for beginning new road projects while numerous existing ones remain unfinished.
Muturi expressed concerns to the National Assembly Labour Committee on Thursday about the government’s proclivity to launch new projects without ensuring that previous ones are completed.

His words add to his recent criticisms of the administration he works for.
The CS went on to criticize the government for how it funds road construction in the country.
“I do not know whether there is something wrong with our psyche as a country, I have traveled around this country and noted that there are some projects that have stalled for more than 30 years,” Muturi told the lawmakers.

“If you do not have enough resources to do all of them, then can you finish one? Can we get enough allocation to finish one and then do the one that follows later,” he added.
The CS told the committee about his recent statewide tour, particularly his visit to Makueni County, where he saw multiple incomplete government housing projects.
“I went to some place called Wote in Makueni County where there are houses whose construction started more than 30 years ago and are still stalled,” he narrated.
Muturi has become a vociferous opponent of the administration he represents, notably in recent months, when he has decried situations such as abductions and forced disappearances.

President William Ruto has continued to announce the launch of new development projects and pledges more, despite the government’s continuous difficulties in obtaining the budgetary means to fund them.
Meanwhile, the CS informed the parliamentary committee that the Cabinet plan to liquidate and consolidate several state enterprises will not result in employment losses for Kenyans.
According to Muturi, if job losses occur, the government will have difficulty compensating affected employees.
“Even if there were to arise a need for retrenchment, appropriate compensatory processes would have to be sought out,” he added.
