Staff at the office
of the majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen on Thursday, March 12, surprised the
legislator with a birthday cake.
Murkomen, who turned 41 today, is seen happily cutting the
cake and sharing it with his staff as they sang for him.
The legislator thanked his staff for the surprise and
recognized the hard work they put in serving the public.
"Thank you for the surprise, this is amazing. I would also like to acknowledge your commitment in serving the public and dedication in delivering our mandate. I appreciate it!" Murkomen said.
Kipchumba Murkomen, who is the current Senator for Elgeyo
Marakwet, was elected in 2013 after he won on a URP ticket against the late
Nicholas Biwott.
In 2017, the legislator was re-elected on a Jubilee ticket
after defeating the former Inspector General of police David Kimaiyo during the
general election.
In the past couple of weeks, the Senator threatened to
oppose the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) should it fail to capture the
aspirations on Kenyans.

"If the final BBI report doesn't capture the
aspirations of the people of Kenya and a referendum to amend the Constitution
is organised with a draft that limits the sovereign power of the people or
create tribal positions or undermine devolution, I will oppose and lead the NO
Team," he said.
He has also urged other political leaders to stop lying to
Kenyans that the BBI will solve the country's economy.
"We were elected do that we can help solve issues of
the public. Money was allocated to do so, therefore stop lying to Kenyans that
the BBI will solve the economy," said Murkomen.
In addition, the legislator also urged other leaders to stop
disrespecting the Deputy President William Ruto. Speaking during an interview
on JK Live, Murkomen said that those who feel the DP is a burden should resign.
"Any person in the Jubilee administration who feels
that William Ruto is too much of a burden for him to work with in this
government should resign because William Ruto is not a visitor in the Jubilee
administration," he said.
