Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has revealed why controversial businessman Jimmy Wanjigi fell out with the Jubilee administration.

Speaking on Friday, Murkomen said that Wanjigi who is now supporting NASA fell out with Jubilee after the 2013 elections due to selfish interests related to the Standard Gauge Railway.

"He fell out with the side for selfish interests. He hoped to get 15 per cent of the SGR Sh327 billion tender and the Greenfield project at the airports."

"Wanjigi was a supporter of Jubilee in 2013 but when this failed, he switched allegiance," Murkomen said.

The Jubilee leadership has lashed out at NASA for accepting support from individuals who are beneficiaries of past corruption scandal in the government.
