Transition from county administration to national politics: His prior role as Chief of Staff in Machakos County Government gave him experience in governance and public administration before joining the National Assembly.
A timeline of pivotal roles and responsibilities.
Chief of Staff, Machakos County Government (pre-2022): Served in senior county-level public administration, acquiring governance and administrative experience.
Advocate / Legal Practitioner: Professionally trained and practising as a lawyer, giving him grounding in constitutional, administrative and public-interest law.

Key events that have shaped public perception.
High-profile impeachment trial backlash: His motion against Rigathi Gachagua generated intense scrutiny, with critics questioning the legal basis, motives and potential political fallout of the impeachment — as the accusations touched on governance, corruption, land and property rights.
Cross-examination difficulties in Senate hearings: During Senate proceedings, lawyers for the Deputy President publicly challenged evidence and questioned some of Mutuse’s assertions, labelling him a “hostile witness” — a moment that sparked debate on proof standards and legal strategy.
Polarised public and political perception: Among supporters, he is viewed as a bold voice for accountability; among opponents and some within government circles, as politically motivated — subject to partisan attacks and legal-political pressure.
