Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has clarified his relationship with Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, emphasizing that their connection is longstanding and not personal in nature. Murkomen highlighted that he is familiar with the senator’s character and personality.

“I don’t have any beef with him that is his personality, he was my student and he was that active in class that he wanted to look and sound different,” he said.

He also clarified that as a senator he (Cherargei) has every right and duty to play his oversight and keep him on check.
He however warned the senator against making unsubstantiated allegations against him.

“He has to hold me to account, the only thing that I have told him is not to go beyond his mandate,” he said.

Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen responded to claims made by Senator Samson Cherargei, dismissing assertions that he possesses Sh15 billion as completely unfounded.

Murkomen made these remarks during an interview on the Obina show, addressing ongoing tensions between the two leaders, both allies of President William Ruto. Last November, Murkomen took legal action against Cherargei, demanding an apology for defamation. The dispute arose from statements made by Cherargei following Murkomen’s visit to China to discuss financing for important national projects with contractors.

“Our instructions are that we demand that within seven days from the date of this letter accept liability for defamation to give way for negotiations and tender unqualified apology in writing to our client through the same channels through which you published the offending words,” the letter read in part.

According to the lawyer, the words used by the senator during the press conference on November 24, were interpreted to mean his client is corrupt, lacks integrity, unpatriotic and he has betrayed the electorate.
