Kapseret member of parliament (MP) Oscar Sudi has told off Public Service cabinet secretary (CS) Justin Muturi for linking NIS to son’s abduction.
In a statement on Wednesday January 15, 2025, Sudi urged CS Muturi to resign instead of blackmailing the government.
“This desperate move, made now that your political career has waned, is a clear blackmail attempt.
“The timing is highly suspicious, revealing a coward man clutching at straws for political advantage.
“In regards to your son’s woes, who is my agemate kwani alishikwa bure?
Furthermore, there are many… professionals who can serve the country with zeal, you can ship out,” Sudi posted on his X account.
Sudi released a statement after Muturi alleged that his son, Leslie Muturi, was allegedly abducted and released by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) officers.
According to the Kapseret MP, allegations by CS Muturi were false and misleading, aimed at gaining political mileage.
In a statement to police recorded on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, Muturi explained how his son was kidnapped on June 22, 2024, by armed hooded gangsters along Dennis Pritt Road in Nairobi.
“Standing outside the pavilion, I heard the President ask Noordin Haji if he was holding my son, Noordin confirmed that indeed he was holding my son and the President instructed him to release Leslie immediately.
“Noordin responded that Leslie would be released within an hour. After thanking the President, I drove out of State House and rejoined my friends in Gigiri and explained what had happened.
“Slightly over an hour later, Leslie called me to say he had been released and was at home,” read part of Muturi’s statement.
