In a post on his Facebook page, Etale said Murkomen who is the Senate Leader of Majority has been always telling Kenyans that they are 'the government' and wondered why he would ask to met the president. 

"Sen. Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen good evening... did I hear you say you want a meeting with the President on matters insecurity in North Rift? Well, this is a very good approach. But, wait a minute, haven't we been seeing you together with the Deputy President all over reminding us that you are in government? In fact, the DP says all the time that he is the Deputy President and 'mtu wa mkono wa rais?' (Which we all know). You know, to laymen like me, we are at a loss here," reads Etale's Facebook post

Kerio Valley in the North Rift has been facing insecurity issues that are as a result of cattle rustling.

The government on Wednesday dispatched high-level security team to the region curb the growing insecurity.
