In a surprising turn of events, Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen faced a barrage of heckling from Baringo residents during a recent football tournament at Kabarnet Showgrounds.
Invited to speak to the gathered crowd, Murkomen encountered a restless audience that erupted into chants of ‘Ruto must go.’
The video of the incident has gone viral on social media, capturing the frustration and discontent of the residents.
The heckling forced Murkomen to abandon the podium abruptly, with residents expressing dissatisfaction with the government, demanding a change.
Despite Baringo being a stronghold for the Kenya Kwanza Alliance, the reasons behind the hostility toward Murkomen remain unclear.
However, Murkomen has been receiving a lot of criticism from Nandi Senator Samson Cherargey over what he terms incompetence by the said CS
According to Cherargey, Murkomen knows best to insult elected leaders instead of delivering for Kenya Kwanza Administration to guarantee President William Ruto’s second term in 2027
In his recent remarks, Cherargey observed that President Ruto might not ne aware of what some of his Cabinet Secretaries are doing and that as elected leaders and people must ensure they comply to the regime’s manifestos
Youthful politician Pauline Njoroge expressed her disbelief at the situation, highlighting the irony of residents heckling the same government they had voted for.
She questioned the inconsistency, emphasizing that those who chanted ‘Hatupangwingwi’ during the elections are now demanding change.
Pauline Njoroge further pointed out the contrast between the reception of ministers in their hometowns and in Central Kenya.
While facing criticism in their own regions, she suggested that these ministers would be welcomed with open arms and even songs if they were to visit Central Kenya.
