Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen on Thursday faced the wrath of angry Kenyans after he posted a statement that was seemingly in support of the Chinese national who was recorded on video insulting Kenyans and President Uhuru Kenyata.
Through his official Facebook page, the vocal Jubilee Senator challenged Kenyans to look deep inside themselves instead of going mad against the Chinese as to him, Kenyans were much worse.
"I know we are mad with Liu Jiaqi for calling us monkeys. But let’s be honest. How many of us call people worse names because they come from different tribes? How many of us hurl obscenities at others because they hold different opinions? We’ve many and worse Liu Jiaqis among us. I wish we were as even more angry with ourselves as we are to the foreigner," he posted.

His post, however, didn't go down well with most Kenyans as they all teamed up against the Senator.
