CS Alfred Mutua is staring into political oblivion, his name now synonymous with systemic corruption and betrayal of public trust. Sources within State House reveal that President William Ruto is losing sleep over Mutua’s never-ending scandals, which have not only embarrassed the regime but triggered a wave of nationwide fury. During Ruto’s recent visit to Bomani AIC Church in Machakos, Mutua is said to have appeared uninvited desperately hoping for an audience with the President. Instead, Ruto, reportedly enraged, ordered immediate protocol changes barring all politicians from speaking an intentional move to block Mutua from making a public plea for survival.
In just three years, Mutua has rotated through three ministries: Foreign Affairs, Tourism, and now Labour ,leaving behind a trail of disgrace, scandal, and public betrayal. In the most damning of them all, the “Kazi Majuu” jobs-for-cash scandal, thousands of Kenyan youth were duped by rogue agencies allegedly operating with the blessing of Mutua’s office. What was launched as a noble initiative to provide jobs abroad quickly turned into a corrupt enterprise, where opportunities were sold to the highest bidder while genuine job seekers were left broke and hopeless. When Mutua was summoned before the Senate Labour Committee to account, his responses were evasive, triggering anger so intense that Speaker Amason Kingi had to step in and cool tempers.
For President Ruto, whose government is now seen as sinking under its own weight, the Mutua scandal has turned into a ticking time bomb. Insiders say a cabinet purge is looming, with Mutua on top of the chopping list. But critics argue the damage is irreversible—Kenya Kwanza’s promises have crumbled, the public is disillusioned, and Ruto’s 2027 re-election bid is fast becoming mission impossible. The failure to act sooner has left Ruto’s credibility in tatters, and voters are now watching his every move, demanding action not public relations.
Meanwhile, Mutua’s rumored bid for the Machakos senatorial seat in 2027 has sparked rage among residents. Many remember his 10-year reign as the county’s first governor—a term littered with ghost projects, inflated tenders, and a media circus that masked real failure. The mood in Machakos is clear: Mutua is not welcomed. As one resident put it, “He left the county in ICU, now he wants to return us to ICU where governor wavinya has brought us from! . Never again.” With national disgrace behind him and county rejection ahead, Mutua’s political obituary is already being written and the public is holding the pen.
