Published on July 2, 2021, Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has been one of the most vocal Kenyan politicians in recent times.
As a young boy, Murkomen grew up in a rural setting, just like many other Kenyan children.
Today, he is an influential lawyer and a seasoned politician, having previously held the position of Senate Majority Leader.
On July 1, 2021, Murkomen took to social media to share a heartwarming photo of himself as a teenager, standing alongside his father.
He captioned the photo, saying, 'A #TBT with Dad, the year was December 1994.'
The photo was taken at Tambach Teachers College, where Murkomen was attending a convention. He remembered the church sermon preached by Rev Dan Odhiambo and Apostle Simon Komol, which taught him a valuable life lesson: 'Trust the process.'
Murkomen took the sermon to heart and has since trusted the process, which has contributed to his success today.
The senator is known for his sense of humor and often shares interesting photos on social media.
Recently, he portrayed himself as a professional dowry negotiator, captioning the photo, 'Certified dowry negotiator!'
When he's not busy with politics, Murkomen enjoys playing football and relaxing on Fridays, often posting photos of himself in casual attire.
He also adores his family and regularly shares photos of himself and his wife, Gladys Wanjiru, on social media.
