Murkomen caused a storm after he took to Twitter, faulting the DCI for using the social media platform to track owners of the high end cars that are the subject of ongoing investigations.
“If the DCI has to rely on twitter to establish the ownership of vehicles in Kenya then how will he be able to investigate complex matters of syndicated loans ? SMH” Murkome wrote.
Comments came in thick and fast with some questioning why the Senator who has been a vocal critic of the ongoing purge against corruption is unsettled by the move.
Kie Njiru warned Murkomen that his continued opposition to corruption investigations only make him appear guilt, writing: "@kipmurkomen Vehemently opposing an investigation makes you look very guilty. Kama mmepatikana basi. You guys don't know how angry Kenyans are with the political class and their hand in corruption.".
