Public Service Cabinet Secretary nominee Justin Muturi has revealed that his net worth is Kes 801 million, compared to Kes 761 million when he assumed office as Attorney General in 2022.
When he appeared before the National Assembly Committee on Appointments for vetting on Sunday, he said that his wealth had increased by Kes 40 Million, which he attributed to the evaluation of small properties in the village and proceeds of his farm.
Similarly, Muturi has refuted claims he didn’t have a cordial working relationship with President William Ruto as the government’s principal legal adviser.

“Our media are innovative and how they innovate can cause the jitters’. The headline and the story were not in alignment. Inside the story, they said 99.5 percent of advice has been taken and implemented. It was not a correct story.”
Muturi slammed the media reports, saying he could defend his working relationship with President Ruto by tabling his exit report during his tenure.
“I could give an exit report on the 21-month tenure that I was in charge. That story was not correct because we give advisory to a lot of issues including international law and the county governments.”
“I can’t remember any advice that wasn’t implemented. I must stay I had an exciting period at the state law office,” he noted.
However, he noted that several ministries have failed to implement the Attorney General counsel by failing to adhere to the advice issued by state counsels designated in the dockets.
