Former Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen finds himself at the center of public scrutiny once again, following the resurfacing of a controversial video.
The footage, capturing Murkomen dismissing a job seeker at their offices, has ignited a wave of criticism and mockery across social media platforms.
The video, which has quickly gone viral, shows Murkomen curtly cutting off a man who visited their offices seeking employment opportunities.
Murkomen bluntly stated, “We are not giving out work here,” in a manner perceived by many as dismissive and insensitive.
This incident has resurfaced amidst President William Ruto’s recent decision to overhaul his Cabinet, which has sparked widespread debate and reactions nationwide.
While Murkomen’s dismissal from his previous role was not directly linked to this video, its recirculation has added fuel to the public discourse on accountability and leadership conduct.
Netizens have taken to social media to express their views, with many condemning Murkomen’s perceived arrogance and lack of empathy towards the job seeker.
Comments ranged from criticism of his approach to reminders about the importance of humility and respect in public service.
Murkomen has yet to publicly address the resurfaced video or the ensuing criticism.
However, the incident serves as a poignant reminder of the scrutiny public figures face in an era of heightened social media visibility and accountability.
As the discourse continues, it remains to be seen how Murkomen and other public officials will navigate the aftermath of such revelations in an increasingly connected digital age
