Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen is once again at the center of a political storm after Senator Cherargei revived claims of his incompetence, referencing a two-year-old critique from Standard Media. In response, Murkomen dismissed the criticism with a sharp proverb, stating that they cannot waste time responding to every critic.
The exchange has triggered mixed reactions online, with some Kenyans defending Murkomen while others condemned his leadership approach.
Rotich, a strong supporter of Murkomen, criticized Senator Cherargei, urging him to stop blaming Murkomen for every issue and instead let him work. Others agreed, arguing that the CS is being unfairly targeted.
However, not all reactions were in Murkomen’s favor. Njuguna suggested that the criticism stems from genuine concerns, implying that leaders only face backlash when there are real problems.
Kevin accused Murkomen of lacking integrity in leadership, while Munyua called his response arrogant and foolish.
This latest clash underscores the growing tension between Murkomen and his critics. While some see the attacks as politically motivated, others insist on holding him accountable.
As the debate continues, it is clear that Kenyans remain deeply divided over Murkomen’s leadership—and the criticism shows no signs of slowing down.
