Senator Kipchumba Murkomen Demands Arrest of Raila for Treason

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has called for the arrest of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga.

Speaking while accompanying Deputy President William Ruto to West Pokot County, Murkomen says Odinga must be arrested for committing treason when he swore himself as the people's president in January 2018.

The Senate Majority Leader has questioned why authorities went after lawyer Miguna Miguna and Ruaraka MP Tom Kajwang' but spared Raila after the mock swearing-in.

"Raila Odinga went to Uhuru Park and declared himself the people's president. Kenya, through the office of the DCI, then arrested Miguna Miguna and Tom Kajwang'," says Murkomen.

Senator Murkomen says Odinga has no moral authority to lecture Kenyans on impunity until he is charged with treason.

"You are not qualified to give us a lecture until you are sentenced for treason and maybe the president will forgive you because there is a presidential pardon," he remarks.

"If they are not going to arrest him then there is no need of raising an alarm against impunity and yet the opposition leader himself is a free man and has no authority to lecture people on impunity."

He says if no action is taken against him, Raila will go ahead to install himself as President in 2022 when DP Ruto defeats him.

"After we defeat him [in 2022], and we will, how sure are we he won't go to Uhuru Park and declare himself President for a second time?" Murkomen poses.

In a quick rejoinder, ODM Director of Communications Philip Etale has dismissed Murkomen's remarks as an attempt to kill questions about the Sh21 billion dams' scandal.

"Even arresting Raila Odinga for being sworn in as the People's President on 30th of January 2018 will not destruct the fight against corruption and in particular the questions about Kimwarer and Arror dams. We need to know how towels and tiles were procured on a dam project," Etale says.

Ndugu Rais Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta:

Nakuomba tafadhali ukomeshe mambo ya siasa nchini. Sasa ni wakati wa kujenga taifa kwa kila Mkenya aliyemo nchini na aliye nje ya nchi.

Murkomen listen! Let Raila alone to quietly Enjoy his life in Canaan; you didn't Vote for him, Help or Accompany him there. So just Shut up as you "Enjoy yours with Ruto (as you still Loiter on Shores of Egypt).

Bwana Kipchumba that Treason Train left the station on the day Raila was sworn in as the peoples president
Wewe ni wakili, kwenda uicnguze katiba na hutakuja fahamu ya kwamba Raila was not sworn in as President of the Republic of Kenya. The phrase is the peoples president which meaningless and the Katiba has no provision for it so in other words Raila did not have a case to answer and thats why he was not charged with treason and real Lawyers understood that. Erevuka bwana na muelezee hio sh.21 million ya hizo DAMS imeibiwa na nani. WACHA DEFLECTION!

Why is Murkomen wasting time on useless issues. He knows very well that Raila is not going to jail for treason,or any other offense he has been allegedly accused of?
Some of these politicians for sure dont have any agenda to improve the welfare of their communities.So much time wasted attaching each other...

Bwana Mukurmen, the problem is Uhuru not Raila. Redirect your fire to the right place. Otherwise continue fighting those who are fighting corruption.

Ndugu Kipchumba: Kwa nini unampigania mkristo Ruto awe rais 2022. Kwa nini hufikirii ya kwamba kuna mtu mwingine anayeweza kutawala na kufanya kazi nzuri kuliko rafiki yako Ruto? Je Ruto alikuahidi nini ili umpiganie hivyo kiwango ambacho hata humtambui Ndugu Kinoti na unataka aondolewe kazini?

@Mkenya Halisi: Kama ungali ukifikiria kuwalazimisha Wakenya wote kufuata mila zako za asili yako, Kenya imekwisha!!!!!!!!

Juzi niliandika juu ya jambo hili la tohara (circumcision) na vile linatokana na mila za watu.

Sijui kama unajua ya kwamba, treni unayosafiria kwenda Mombasa ilitengenezwa na Wachina ambao hawatahiri. Ikiwa unaendesha motokaa ya Kijerumani au Kijapani, ujue ya kwamba watu hawa wawili hawatahiri.

Mila ni kama chakula: huwezi kumlazimisha mtu kula chakula cha asili yako kama "irio" au kumlazimisha mtu kutahiriwa kama siyo mila zao. Mimi mwenyewe nimetahiriwa kulingana na mila za asili yangu. Lakini, siwezi hata kidogo kumwambia mtu atahiri kama si mila za mababu yangu.

Tohara ni kama imani ya mtu. Huwezi kueneza dini yako nje ya mila zako. Umeona jinsi Wafrika wamechanganyikiwa baada ya kuacha dini ya mababu zao na kuchukua dini isiyo yao ya kiislamu na pia kikristo. Leo umemwona mwanamke kasisi mwenye mimba akifanya mambo ya wenda wazimu na huku anajiita "kasisi."
