Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen has taken a swipe at those who were alleging that he abandoned Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
According to Murkomen who came back from the United States having gone silent for a while, he termed those who have been peddling those rumors as mere desperados.
“Just returned from the US Capitol where we held meetings with Congressmen on matters of mutual interest to our two countries. In my absence propagandists,bloggers,busy bodies and all manner of nose parkers have been peddling rumors and writing silly notes in my name.Desperados.Ignore them.” Wrote Murkomen.
At the same time, Murkomen shared the following statement purportedly written by him which claimed that he had left deputy president William Ruto:
“Ruto should retreat and strategise. The team sorrounding Ruto now will abandon him for Raila soon.BBI was a trap.Raila laid a trap for us to oppose it.We succeeded by opposing BBI but now it’s eating us verily.
Mt.Kenya was to benefit alot with BBI.The leaders from the region have ganged up to show how Ruto denied them money and is celebrating what we have lost as a community.
Today,Nyoro,Gachagua or Wahome cannot hold a rally and campaign for Ruto without promising handouts.Kikuyus will not come for that rally.
Over the weekend,you saw the DP in kenol.People refused to listen to him because they’re after Ruto’s money not Ruto himself. The ground has shifted.Ruto is being stoned in Bungoma, Nanyuki,kisii but Raila is being welcomed with Dances,Ullulations.
As a Kalenjin community.
We must tell our son the truth.Lets retreat back and support Raila and ask him for favour in 2027.We’re going to the opposition and we will pay it dearly more than the Luos in the last 10years. Sincerely speaking,we have done zero development for our people.How do you ask them for the vote yet farmers in Uasin Gishu and Nandi are struggling to sell maize?
Tea farmers in Kericho and Bomet too are aprooting the crop!? The Kihikas,Ndindis and Wahomes of Ruto today have started to pack. The world they come from has shifted their allengance to Raila.Raila will win with a landslide victory sending us(Kalenjins) to the opposition. We need to meet Raila and beg for forgiveness.”
