The photo, during Murkomen's humble days, shows him pictured outside a local school.

His dressing betrays his humble beginning and many saw the photo as an inspiration that hardwork can make one go places.

Unlike many elected leaders who were born with a silver spoon, Murkomen seems to have come from a humble background and grew up as a normal village boy.

As Deputy President William Ruto's camp fashion themselves as the sons of peasants who are out to knock out dynasties from power, such powerful images will powerfully sell their hustlers' brand.
