Sports Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen sensationally claimed that the ongoing mass criticism against President William Ruto across all sectors was because of his tribe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking on Thursday December 5 after gracing the first joint graduation ceremony of Kericho County Vocational Training Centres, Murkomen slammed the church, media, and government critics accusing them of being tribal in their evaluation of the President\u2019s performance so far.<\/p>\n

Terming the current Kenya Kwanza fault-finding by Kenyans as unfair, the CS denounced the attacks directed at the President saying they were not issue-base.<\/p>\n

Murkomen took issue with why Ruto is constantly only being compared to Kenya\u2019s second president Daniel arap Moi, who was also from the Kalenjin community, and not other past Heads of State like Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta who were all Kikuyus.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find it unfair that many people especially the church, the media and our critics are criticising President William Ruto not based on facts of the things we are doing but a criticism laced with tribalism,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find it unfair that President Ruto is not being compared with former President Uhuru Kenyatta or Mwai Kibaki or Jomo Kenyatta because of the disease and mentality of tribalism. Every critic of Ruto is comparing him with Daniel Moi, as if there was one president before him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Elgeyo Marakwet Senator argued Ruto\u2019s detractors are unfavourably weighing him up with the former Heads of State who have already completed their terms, instead of only focusing on the two years he has been in office.<\/p>\n

He argued that the late former President Mwai Kibaki, who is acclaimed for turning the Kenyan economy around, also faced the same criticism as Ruto in his first two years.<\/p>\n

Murkomen stated that, in that same way, President Ruto will with time muffle his critics by revamping the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfair to find fault the President based on where he comes from or comparing with a President who came from this community before. Let’s criticize him on facts as they are; compare Ruto with his predecessor in the first two years or with Kibaki in the first two years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2003 or 2004 everybody was crying that President Kibaki amemaliza uchumi, but in 2007, if not for post-election violence, he was being celebrated for turning around the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why we want to say confidently that we have confidence in President Ruto, if we give him the necessary time and criticize him fairly we are going to get proper results for our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His remarks attracted condemnation online with many dismissing him.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdulahi termed his remarks utter rubbish.<\/p>\n

\u201cKenyans are criticizing President William because they want him to succeed\/deliver on his promises…his TRIBE is totally irrelevant and diversionary bwana Waziri @kipmurkomen. Deliver and Kenyans will dance on the street and name their newborn kids after H.E (Ruto),\u201d he said in a post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
