December 21, 2019, was a day Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen's fashion sense was put to the test. Pictures of him wearing an oversized kitenge shirt began circulating on social media, leaving many in stitches.
Netizens, while mocking him, shared a picture of a man in a fitting shirt similar in design to the one the Jubilee Party senator was wearing. In a collage, they shared a picture of Murkomen in the oversized shirt next to that of the man in a well-fitting shirt with the caption 'What #murkomen ordered vs what the tailor delivered.'
Responding cheekily to netizens, the vocal lawmaker admitted that he needs to grow some muscles to fit well into the shirt as purportedly suggested by his tailor while absolving him from blame.
'My tailor is saying the problem is not the design it’s me and that I should go and grow muscles. What do I tell him?' Murkomen tweeted.
