On May 22, 2020, Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen expressed his deep concern over the erosion of the Senate's independence.
Speaking on the floor of the Senate, Murkomen lamented the serial assassination of independent institutions, stating, "I grieve and mourn the serial assassination of our independent institutions."
His comments came in response to the actions of some senators, including Senator Kindiki, who have been accused of undermining the Senate's authority.
As the Senate continues to grapple with issues of independence and accountability, Murkomen's words serve as a reminder of the importance of upholding the institution's integrity.
