The government took away Muturi's guards Monday night at 7:30. Two police officers who protected him because he served as National Assembly Speaker before heard they must stay away. These officers received messages saying Muturi fights against the government, which explains why they cannot help him anymore. Muturi told reporters on Tuesday that this news came after President Ruto fired him on March 26. He claims these scare tactics will fail just like earlier attempts.

Muturi spoke against the many kidnappings that have happened since last year when young people marched against Ruto. Kidnappers even grabbed Muturi's son for a time before letting him go. This experience pushed Muturi away from Cabinet meetings - he refused to join until leaders talked seriously about these kidnappings. The meetings never discussed this problem deeply enough for him. President Ruto later picked Geoffrey Ruku from Mbeere North as the new person for Muturi's job.

President Ruto explained he had to remove Muturi because he skipped important government meetings. Muturi sees things differently. He says Ruto lies about what happened. Muturi has harsh words about the President these days. He talks about dishonest money deals happening under Ruto. Plus, he believes Ruto scares other Cabinet members who might disagree with him.
