Murkomen tries to congratulate Joseph Boinnet but it badly backfires

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen moved to social media to congratulate newly appointed Tourism CS Joseph Boinnet but it has backfired badly.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, through an Executive Order appointed the former IG as CAS on Wednesday.

And Murkomen said that Boinnet will perform in his new role, just like he has left a legacy in the police service:

” I congratulate my friend& former IG Joseph Boinnet on his appointment as CAS Tourism&Wildlife. Mr.Boinnet served the country as IG with dignity, commitment&hard work.He left an enduring legacy in the police service.I strongly believe that he will equally excel in his new station.”

But the Senate Majority Leader did not foresee the backlash from his followers:

Ukabila ndo zako. Among all appointees you could only pick a Kalenjin to congratulate!! As a Senate Majority Leader you represent the face of Kenya NOT the Kalenjin Nation. You are among the ills that bedevile our Great Nation – tribal to the core!!— I Was Here B4 You (@iwashereb4you) March 13, 2019

Some were quick to remind Boinet the story of Baby Pendo:
