Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has bashed the National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi for allegedly telling "fake stories".
He told Mbadi in a tweet to advice his boss to take Sheikh's threat seriously because they people from the United Arab Emirates don't joke.
"Mbadi stop fake stories. Sheikh has said it's either the gold or face the consequences. Advice your boss to take the threats seriously. Those are not people to joke with unless you don’t read current affairs. Call for harambee but unfortunately, gold & silver have we none!" read a tweet by Murkomen.
The Senate Majority Leader was responding to allegations by Mbadi that political allies to Deputy President William Ruto are planning to impeach Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi.
“The target of Ruto and his team is one Fred Matiang’i. I have information that two nondescript MPs–one from South Rift and another from Murang’a County have been tasked with the responsibility to draft impeachment motion against Fred Matiang’i for his removal from office,” John Mbadi said.
The ODM chairman added the since Matiang'i was given the responsibility of a super Cabinet Secretary, the DP has not been happy with him and this impeachment is a good way to water down his influence.
“Since Matiang’i was given this added responsibility of coordinating government functions, the Deputy President has been very unhappy and together with his team. They are thinking that they have found an opportunity to deal with Matiang’i,” he added.
