Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen on Monday cheekily responded to social media claims that he will own a plane worth Ksh4 billion by 2027.
Murkomen’s response followed a photo of a plane shared by Khalif Kairo, the owner of Kai and Karo Limited, advertising his plane shipping venture Jetman Global.
“Ksh4 Billion for this G550,” Kairo wrote on X.
“By 2027, Murkomen atakua nae (by 2027, Murkomen will have this one),” a social media user responded to Kairo.
“Amen!” Murkomen responded to the claims.
“You don’t have to apologize my enemies are always in a state of confusion. Thank you Lord,” Murkomen further stated
Recently, Murkomen responded to claims of owning pricey watches and shoes. During a graduation ceremony at Masinde Muliro University, the CS stated that he was surprised by the mixed reactions his watch and shoe collections elicited online.
He revealed that his love for watches dates back to his childhood and family background.
Murkomen recounted receiving his first watch as a gift from his father while he was still in primary school. However, he worked hard to earn the watch and his father’s praise.
“In primary school, I had a watch that was difficult to get. My father tasked me to become number one to earn it. I read until I got dizzy.
“I missed being number one with two marks. My father had mercy on me and bought me that watch. I think that is where my love for watches started. That passion and background should never make you give up,” he stated.
