Friday, October 21, 2022 –Politician Kipchumba Murkomen’s past remarks on Lawyer Miguna Miguna have come back to haunt him.
In 2018 when Miguna Miguna was being sedated and bundled out of the country following the purported mock swearing in of Raila Odinga, among the first leaders to support his deportation was the now Roads and Transport Cabinet Minister nominee, Kipchumba Murkomen.
Witty Kenyans have quickly reminded the new CS nominee how he cannot distance himself from Miguna Miguna’s 2018 dramatic deportation.
“There is a time CS Kipchumba Murkomen termed Miguna Miguna as a threat to the country, justified his deportation,” observed Mr. Abuga Makori.
The old KTN News clip in which Murkomen bragged on live Tv interview on how their government led by Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto was right has continued to trend online now the second day.
“You people are forgetting the bigger issue. President Uhuru Kenyatta has a greater responsibility of ensuring that the rule of law is maintained in this country,” Murkomen charged.
He would go ahead to state that the only best and easy option for the nation was to clean the country by getting rid of small issues from an individual.
“The bigger picture is to keep the country going. If there is a conflict between small issues of one individual, when an individual is a threat to the rights of 45 million people, you cannot subject one individual’s rights to threaten those of more people,” he responded to KTN News‘ Sophia Wanuna.
This is in contrast with what he has been saying of recent accusing the former government of having unfairly deported the lawyer back to Canada.
Miguna returned home yesterday Thursday October 20 through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport JKIA.
