After days of attacking Deputy President William Ruto, nominated MP Maina Kamanda has now turned to Senate Majority Leader and Ruto's chief ally Kipchumba Murkomen.
The Elgeyo Marakwet Senator has been leading a group of Ruto's allies in questioning President Uhuru Kenyatta's reconciliation with opposition leader Raila Odinga last year, terming it a fraud.
But speaking on Wednesday on Radio Jambo, the former Starehe lawmaker questioned the remarks, terming Murkomen's remarks as an insult to Uhuru who doubles up as the Jubilee Party boss.
He said that Uhuru being directly involved in the same and having fully taken part, anyone from Jubilee questioning it is simply disrespecting the head of state.
"Murkomen anaposema handshake ni bandia ni matusi kwa rais Uhuru (when Murkomen says the handshake is a fraud, he is openly disrespecting the President)," said the former Starehe MP.
Kamanda noted that the handshake has been of great benefit to the nation with regards to peace and political calm, and cannot be faulted by any politician meaning well for the country.
He said that Murkomen is stuck in the past where popularity was gained by attacking Raila, and is now trying to fight the handshake so that the two can separate and he can get his punching bag back.
"Wakati umepita wa kupiga na kutukana watu fulani eti ndio upate kusikika (gone are the days when popularity was gained by firing attacks at each other)," he added.
Murkomen and team have claimed that Raila is using the handshake to break the Jubilee Party, now that he is close to the party's top leadership.
