Sudi hits out at Cherargei over attacks to Murkomen
According to Sudi, the fights between Cherargei and Murkomen are targeted at President William Ruto and not the CS
Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi now claims that Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei is a mole for former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
In a statement on his social media handles, Sudi alleged that Cherargei is an ally of Gachagua and that he should peacefully switch sides without attacking Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen.
“We are not fools, and we know that your heart is in Wamunyoro’s camp. Be bold and cross over to serve your master freely,” Sudi stated.
According to Sudi, the fights between Cherargei and Murkomen are targeted at President William Ruto and not the CS.
Sudi challenged the UDA Senator to face President Ruto directly instead of attacking CS Murkomen.
He called on the Nandi Senator to face President Ruto directly.
”Stop going through the corners by attacking Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen when you know very well it’s President William Ruto you are targeting. Man up and face him directly,” he stated.
The remarks by Sudi come after Murkomen and Cherargei clashed yesterday while the CS was appearing before the Senate to answer questions regarding the circumstances surrounding the mysterious death of Albert Omondi Ojwang.
The Nandi Senator called for Murkomen’s resignation, saying that the Ministry of Interior was suffering from a leadership crisis.
“The Ministry of Interior suffers from a leadership crisis, and it is good that the nation has seen the incompetence of CS Murkomen on this matter. If anybody has to resign, we must start with the CS he must be held accountable. It is high time the President does a cabinet reshuffle and takes CS Murkomen back to Sports because he likes bringing games to the business that we are discussing in this country,” Cherargei said.
In turn, Murkomen accused Cherargei of following up with every ministry, asking him to resign regardless of the ministry he leads.
“When I was the minister of Roads, Cherargei was arguing that I should resign because people were dying in road accidents. When I left the ministry, he kept quiet. When I went to the ministry of sports, it was the same Cherargei who said I must resign; since I left the ministry, he has never talked about the performance of volleyball or football teams. When I came to this ministry, he never waited for more than 2 months, he was saying I should resign,” Murkomen stated.
Murkomen took a personal jab at Cherargei, claiming he once taught him and he was a poor performer in class.
“Senator Cherargei was my student; I taught him more than two subjects, and his performance was below average; he has no legitimacy to question my competence or performance,” he remarked.
This was not the first time the two have engaged in a war of words; there is an ongoing case where Cherargei was sued by Murkomen for defamation last year.
