He Is Worse Than CS Kuria - Cherargei Goes After CS Murkomen

Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has urged President William Ruto to take action on Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and his Public Service counterpart Moses Kuria.

In an update via X on Wednesday, November 8, Cherargei claimed that Murkomen is worse than Kuria, alleging that he insults and demeans people including leaders at public gatherings.

“CS Moses Kuria is a national embarrassment that doesn't care about respecting anyone including the appointing authority plus institutions such as the Senate but he is not alone he is in good company of CS Murkomen who insults, belittles anyone and everyone.

“Kuria only tweets but Murkomen is worse he takes the mic and bullies, insults and demeans the people and elected leaders even in funerals. The appointing authority must reign in on these rogue cabinet Secretaries,” Cherargei stated.

The Nandi Senator’s statement comes days after he clashed with Murkomen during a funeral in Nandi.

Cherargei had opposed a contractor who had been awarded a tender on a road in the county saying he was not from the community.

His sentiments did not sit well with CS Murkomen, who said everyone was treated equally in the tendering process.

"What about our people who we have given big contracts and who owe us billions and who are in Central and Mombasa? Do you want them to be chased to come home? As your teacher, I have brains and a plan," Murkomen said.

The Transport CS went on to say that if President Ruto had used Cherargei's brain, the country would have plunged into a crisis.

“I want to teach you something. If the President was using a brain like yours, we would not be having the country now,” Murkomen added.
