On September 20, 2019, Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, the Senate Majority Leader, expressed gratitude on Twitter after a successful reconstructive surgery following a shoulder dislocation injury he sustained during a friendly match between the Senate and the Kitui County Assembly.
Murkomen was discharged from hospital and thanked the team of doctors who attended to him, his followers for their prayers and support, and praised God for the healing.
“Successfully underwent reconstruction of my coracoclavicular ligament. Discharged at last. Appreciating Prof.Ating’a and team. Thank you for the support, prayers and good wishes. Glory to God who restores our health and heals our wounds. Stay blessed,” he wrote.
The senator fell down injuring his right shoulder on Monday evening, during a friendly football tournament at Ithookwe showground, Kitui.
He was initially taken to Neema hospital in Kitui and later transferred to a Nairobi hospital where doctors recommended a minor procedure to correct his dislocated shoulder.
