Senate Majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen endured the wrath of Kenyans on Twitter who were not impressed with his comments on handshake deal and fight against corruption.
The senator ignited the onslaught after he stated that the famous handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga is a political fraud that is being used to fight an individual.
Murkomen took to Twitter writing: HANDSHAKE is the worst political fraud ever witnessed in this country. Itâs being used as a scheme to fight one individual together with the charade called fight against corruption. Itâs a SHAME!
Netizens claimed that the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator was acting like a suspect especially at a time when the nation is coming to terms with reports of at least Sh. 21 billion lost in the dams scandal.
Ibrahh Eliab claimed that the single individual Murkomen was referring to is the embodiment of corruption, writing: âBut that one individual is the embodiment of corruption touche.â
âKipchumba you are so bitter and Guilty this Weekend. Whats up?â Tweeted JM_Crick.
âWhy do you always act like a suspectâ Davis Tidy added.
