I have brains and a plan- CS Murkomen responds to Cherargei over Road Contractors.
Speaking during the funeral of the son of Chesumei MP Paul Biego Polo, Nandi senator opined that the roads CS, Kipchumba Murkomen, Should allocate Road projects to local contractors.
Cherargei cited that This will come in handy especially for his people who do not have jobs.
He stated,”Thank you, CS, for coming. You know few people tell you the truth. Work in Nandi is not good. Thank you, Waziri, for the road that is being undertaken, Mosorit,”
“I hear that some people are saying that they want to bring people from other communities to be contractors. Give our children the priority of being contractors because if we don’t teach our children to be strong contractors, we won’t be competitive,” he added.
However, CS Murkomen did not take the remarks lightly. He responded that everyone in Kenya has a right to be given a job, in any part of the Country.
CS Murkomen responded,”What about our people whom we have given big contracts owing billions and are in Central and Mombasa? Do you want them to be chased to come home? As your teacher, I have brains and a plan.”
“Any contractor who comes to Mosoriot from any community, be it a Kisii or any other, let’s welcome them all to build us roads. My work as the CS is to ensure that all roads are constructed properly,” Murkomen added.
Murkomen further pointed fingers towards Cherargei saying that he distanced himself from President Ruto, contrary to what they had agreed upon.
CS Murkomen stated,”Cherargei has only one problem, and if William Ruto had reasoned like him, then he wouldn’t be President,”
“When you came to the Senate, I told you that we should get close to Ruto, but you decided to stay afar,” he added.
