On January 8, 2020, KTN Journalist Sophia Wanuna called out Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen for his hypocrisy over the government's handling of lawyer Miguna Miguna's return to Kenya.
Murkomen had accused the government of frustrating Miguna's attempts to enter the country, despite President Uhuru Kenyatta issuing an order that the lawyer will be allowed into the country.
However, Wanuna questioned why Murkomen is crying yet he is serving the same government that is frustrating Miguna.
"It is the government which you serve in that is doing this sir! … you are the leader of the majority in this seemingly ‘rogue’ government … what are you doing to hold it to account? You can’t just tweet like the rest of us," the journalist said on Twitter.
Murkomen defended himself by saying he would have done something for Miguna in his capacity as the majority leader if it came to his office, and pointed out that the judiciary should jail officials who had disrespected court orders.
