Former Public Service CS Justin Muturi officially handed over his office to Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi on April 1, 2025, following President William Ruto's dismissal on March 26. Muturi thanked ministry staff for their support, while Mudavadi assured a smooth transition. In the interim, Mudavadi will oversee the docket until Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku, Ruto’s nominee, is approved. Muturi’s dismissal is linked to tensions with the president over abduction-related concerns.
