Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has issued a stern warning to President William Ruto against any attempts to interfere with the outcome of the 2027 General Election, claiming he possesses sensitive information about how the 2022 presidential vote unfolded.
Speaking during an interview on Thursday, Muturi said he has inside knowledge regarding events surrounding the 2022 election and cautioned that he would not hesitate to reveal those details if provoked.
The former Attorney General suggested that there were critical behind-the-scenes developments during the election period which, if disclosed, could raise serious questions about the process that led to President Ruto’s victory.
Muturi claimed that he was present during meetings held at State House involving officials linked to election technology, stating that the discussions happened around the time the country was preparing for the last general election.
He argued that the electoral system currently in place could compromise transparency if it is not urgently reviewed before the next polls.
According to Muturi, the country cannot afford to head into another election cycle without fully examining the credibility of the technology used by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
He warned that failure to address these concerns could undermine public confidence in future elections.
Muturi also joined other opposition voices calling for a comprehensive overhaul of the electoral infrastructure, saying reforms must be undertaken early enough to guarantee transparency and accountability.
Part of his concerns revolves around the gazettement of polling stations across the country. Muturi said the IEBC should publish and verify all polling locations to ensure they genuinely exist.
He noted that many polling centres are typically located in schools, raising questions about the possibility of irregularities if proper verification is not done.
Muturi further questioned the legality of certain decisions made within the electoral commission, including claims that some contracts related to election technology were extended without proper authority.
According to him, such decisions should only be made by a fully constituted commission and not individual officials.
The former Cabinet Secretary also dismissed claims that political leaders could easily divide voters in the Mt Kenya region ahead of the next election.
He maintained that communities around the region have historically maintained strong social and political ties and are unlikely to be fragmented by political interests.
Muturi concluded by saying that Kenya must prioritise credible elections and ensure that the electoral process remains transparent and trustworthy for all citizens.
