In the caption of the footage that shows the outspoken politician casually dressed in a white shirt and denim trousers, he revealed that he had been asked by his mother to perform the task.

Kipchumba has been spending his time in the village to unwind away from the rough and tumble of politics.

This as tensions rise in Jubilee over claims by the governing party's vice-chair David Murathe that the party will not support DP Ruto's candidacy.
