The memoir, launched on November 7, 2025, at the University of Nairobi, details Muturi’s decades-long journey in politics, offering rare insights into the inner workings of Parliament and Kenya’s power elite.
The book, which includes a foreword by former President Uhuru Kenyatta, has been hailed by some as a bold reflection on governance, but others see it as a thinly veiled attack on the current administration of President William Ruto.
Among the fiercest critics of Muturi’s publication is Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, who accused the former Speaker of using the book to tarnish the image of President Ruto while conveniently omitting his own controversial past.
In a post shared on his X account, Cherargei lashed out at Muturi, alleging that he had presided over the passage of draconian security laws during his tenure as Speaker; laws that, according to critics, undermined civil liberties and expanded state power.
Cherargei, who is strong supporter of President Ruto, further reignited old allegations that Muturi had previously faced corruption claims during his time as a magistrate, suggesting that the former Speaker’s omission of such details raises questions about his credibility and motives.
Political analysts say the uproar over the book underscores deepening rifts between allies-turned-rivals within Kenya’s political establishment.
While Muturi served as Attorney General in Ruto’s administration until a recent fallout, his new revelations and tone appear to have reopened old wounds in the ruling coalition.
