When historians will sit down to record the annals of history, I am definitely sure that they will be kind enough to dedicate at least a chapter to the pure hustler son of a peasant from Koropkwen in Embobut, Elgeyo Marakwet County who, in the words of Achebe, washed his hands and dined with Kings.
Images of Kipchumba Murkomen walking with the three Kings of Kenyan politics; President Uhuru Kenyatta, his Deputy William Ruto and NASA leader Raila Odinga - have awakened adrenaline in the political scene.
The question in many people's mind is: Is Murkomen, the hustler boy from Embobut, destined for greatness in the post-Ruto period?
What was discussed during the Friday 'lunch' meeting at DP Ruto's Karen home will definitely shape the 2022 politics.
You will definitely be dead from the neck upwards if you believe that Raila and Uhuru didn't have pocket money for lunch at Safari Park.
I would not be wrong to describe you as a political nincompoop if you think Raila Odinga loves Rachel Ruto's 'egusi' soup and well-cooked yams.
For the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator who is also the Senate Leader of Majority, to be part of this goat-rib tearing session by the political juggernauts clearly marks his arrival at the table of Kings.
Trust me, Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen is destined for greatness.
