Sources within State House reveal that President William Ruto is losing sleep over Mutua\u2019s never-ending scandals, which have not only embarrassed the regime but triggered a wave of nationwide fury. During Ruto\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4295\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T135541.253-300x267.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T135541.253-300x267.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T135541.253.jpeg 587w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cKazi Majuu\u201d jobs-for-cash scandal, thousands of Kenyan youth were duped by rogue agencies allegedly operating with the blessing of Mutua\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4298\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131543.989-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131543.989-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131543.989-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131543.989.jpeg 554w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4299\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131617.346-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131617.346-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131617.346.jpeg 679w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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\u2014Kenya Kwanza\u2019s promises have crumbled, the public is disillusioned, and Ruto\u2019s 2027 re-election bid is fast becoming mission impossible. The failure to act sooner has left Ruto\u2019s credibility in tatters, and voters are now watching his every move, demanding action not public relations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4297\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T135531.701.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"210\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mutua\u2019s rumored bid for the Machakos senatorial seat in 2027 has sparked rage among residents. Many remember his 10-year reign as the county\u2019s first governor\u2014a 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, &#8220;He left the county in ICU, now he wants to return us to ICU where governor wavinya has brought us from! . Never again.\u201d With national disgrace behind him and county rejection ahead, Mutua\u2019s political obituary is already being written and the public is holding the pen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4298\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131543.989-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131543.989-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131543.989-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/images-2025-07-23T131543.989.jpeg 554w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CS Alfred Mutua is staring into political oblivion, his name now synonymous with systemic corruption and betrayal of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4300,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,18,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-corruption","category-newsbeat","category-politics"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338.jpg",1587,1493,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338-300x282.jpg",300,282,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338-768x723.jpg",640,603,true],"large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338-1024x963.jpg",640,602,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338-1536x1445.jpg",1536,1445,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338.jpg",1587,1493,false],"morenews-featured":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338-1024x963.jpg",1024,963,true],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338-825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG-20250723-WA0338-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Kambaland Times","author_link":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/author\/kituitimes\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/corruption\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Corruption<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/newsbeat\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Newsbeat<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/politics\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Politics<\/a>","tag_info":"Politics","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4294"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4301,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4294\/revisions\/4301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
