Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has taken over the Public Service docket following the removal of Justin Muturi. The handover occurred at the Ministry’s Head Office, marking a pivotal shift in the administration’s approach to public service management.

Mudavadi’s appointment to oversee the Public Service Ministry aligns with President William Ruto’s strategy to enhance efficiency and accountability within the public sector. This move also aims to streamline operations and improve service delivery to Kenyans.

The transition has been met with various reactions. Mudavadi’s expanded role is viewed as a strategic effort to promote Kenya’s national interests globally and strengthen international partnerships. Conversely, Muturi’s tenure was marked by controversies, including disputes over legal mandates concerning state corporations and public criticisms of government operations. Notably, Mudavadi had previously assumed additional responsibilities, such as overseeing the Ministry of Information, Communications, and Digital Economy, further expanding his influence within the cabinet.
