Murithi’s eight-month break between 2017 and 2018 came when he resigned to take the Director of Communications position in the Tharaka Nithi County government.
He grabbed national attention while covering a press conference addressed by the then Opposition leaders, Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka.

Musyoka, while answering a question from Murithi, sought to know his name after which he made the infamous statement "your name betrays you".
Murithi had however earlier hinted at joining the staff of Tharaka Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki as his political advisor.
