Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has reacted to the Friday statement by President Uhuru Kenyatta asking Deputy President William Ruto to resign.

In an address on Saturday, Senator Murkomen criticized the President stating that the President's approach was unwarranted.

"We voted for President Kenyatta in 2013, in 2017 twice, the Constitution outlines that he should retire next year. Why is the President campaigning? Running all over and speaking in anger, fighting? Who is he fighting?

He came around, told us he has a project and asked us to support the project but he didn't have all these threats and intimidation. I want to ask President Uhuru Kenyatta, if you claim that your deputy is campaigning, what were you doing between 2010 and 2013 when you won the election?" the Senator posed.
