June 14, 2020 - The Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen's sentiment on the coming impeachment trial of Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru at the senate has sparked uproar, re-surfacing his controversial decisions when he was the majority leader at the senate.
On Saturday, June 13, Murkomen hinted that the senate cannot stop government from protecting Governor Waiguru from impeachment.
"If the government wants to save Waiguru regardless of the facts, then she will be saved. If the government and Capitol Hill dry cleaners combine forces then the Senate will do nothing," stated Murkomen.
A section of Kenyans found the comments contradicting previous bills passed by the senate when Murkomen was the majority leader.
Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo slammed Murkomen for not eliminating the rot in the senate, reiterating that Waiguru's case was not the first one.
"Ndugu it's unfortunate, but let it be known that, this will not start with Anne Waiguru, it started long ago. You folks didn't fix it, so now it's fixing you (senate). It's important to do the right things as opposed to doing things right," noted Kabogo.
