Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has claimed NASA leader Raila Odinga is fighting the Kalenjin community.
Murkomen stated that it was part of Raila's plan ahead of 2022 polls.
Through his twitter handle, Murkomen said that Odinga has been fighting Kikuyus for the past three elections because his main competitors came from the Central region.
"Raila for the last 3 elections ran a campaign against one community- the Kikuyus coz ismain competitors were from Central.Today he has officially through @gladyswanga &Co.launched a new line focused on Kalenjins just coz 2022 competitor is William Ruto. Deplorable&Sad," he wrote.
His sentiments drew a lot of mixed reactions as many criticised him for pulling out the tribalcard at such a time.
His claims came after a number of ODM MPs issued a statement labelling Ruto as an enemy of his own progress.
"This is in regard to Deputy President William Ruto and his return with the tired line of who won the 2017 elections, how the handshake wants to stop him from being President and hiswhole trademark politics of lies, commotion, hate and division," the MPs stated.
