Murkomen’s reaction on Chinese man who called Uhuru a monkey lands him in trouble

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen came under fire on September 6 August after his remarks concerning Liu Jiaqi, the Chinese man who was caught on video calling Kenyans and President Uhuru Kenyatta monkeys.

Murkomen responded to the viral video saying that we have many and worse ‘Liu Jiaqis’ among us (Kenyans).

“I know we are mad with Liu Jiaqi for calling us monkeys. But let’s be honest. How  many of us call people worse names because they come from different tribes? How many of us hurl obscenities to others coz they hold different opinions? We’ve many & worse Liu Jiaqis among us,” said Murkomen.

The Chinese man nicknamed as 'Judge' at the Ruiru based motor cycling company – Sonlink (K) Limited- was caught on camera hurling insults at a Kenyan employee and threatening to sack him when he returns back to china. ?

"The company has about 8 Chinese and 12 Kenyans and all the Chinese here are our bosses and we do not know who is the overall boss. Insults here are a common occurrence and we just persevere to keep our jobs," the employee who leaked the video.

According to an employee of the company, the incident happened after a business trip to Machakos went wrong.

"We went for a business trip, looking after our customers. Our official vehicle was busy so that is why we used an Uber," said the employee.

Liu was arrested and deported on September 6 by the Immigration department.

Kenyans on social media trolled Murkomen after his remarks and this is what some of them had to say;

I was almost a agreeing with him until I realized he's been insulting other communities. He wants us to lough when he insults us.

Racism is unacceptable,we are past that error where white people used to view us as some sort of feeble creatures whom couldn't stand for themselves.
