Senator Murkomen’s Salary to be Slashed by Sh400,000 After Losing Majority Leader Seat

Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has lost several privileges and benefits after he was stripped of his Senate Majority Leader seat, it has emerged.

Murkomen, who held the prestigious position since late 2017, was ousted during a Jubilee Parliamentary Group meeting for senators held at State House, Nairobi on Monday, May 11th. He was replaced by West Pokot Senator Samuel Poghisio of Kanu.

As a result, Murkomen will have his Sh1,056,000 monthly salary trimmed and will now earn Sh710,000, the pay for normal senators.

He will also lose the Sh100,000 car fuel allowance given to senators in leadership positions as well as have the three luxury cars assigned to him withdrawn. All the motor vehicles are above 4500cc and bear GK number plates. 

Further to this, he will cease to enjoy Sh300,000 allocated to the Office of Majority Leader for hospitality per month and the mandatory police escort that he was entitled to. Eight police bodyguards attached to him will be withdrawn.

In addition, his staff including a researcher, a legal counsel, a fiscal analyst, a media officer, a personal assistant, two secretaries, and two office assistants will be withdrawn.

Murkomen was kicked out alongside Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika, who served as Senate Majority Whip. 

The new changes were approved by Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka on Tuesday, May 12th despite protest from leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto.

    • Loosely packed big teeth…
      Loosely packed big teeth mouth is his qualification! He was put there by DP Ruto to operate as his stealing man! Murkomen should have been fired long time ago! Kenyans of good will should be very happy that this idiot have been fired. Ruto should follow suit! He is huge mockery to the Kenyan people! He is worse than a street pick pocketed! He is a thief and a conman!

  1. If you have been wondering…
    If you have been wondering where goes Wanachi’s money, the above is your answer.Multiply that with thousands of all our government eaters/ leaders – and if this doesn’t make you sick to your stomach you need prayers. We have been played family – ever since Independence. Always remember, whenever you create a government, you create a monistor, the question is can you control it when it comes to eat you up? Checks and balances and restraints must proceed any government formation.

    • May the courts perish in…
      May the courts perish in hell, if indeed they have stopped the firing of thieves! And this is where I feel Kenyans should take matters in their hands and do mob justice to Maraga and all the judges! They are more of a major problem to our country. They sanction thieves and they’re less about our country going to the dogs. It is about time for Kenyans to rise up and reclaim our country.

  2. These salaries and benefits…
    These salaries and benefits have DRAINED us empty! Surely, Wanjiku is the milk-and-nyama cow for this bloated government full of thieves. No wonder our economy is on life-support..and we will never get out of it with this kind of idiotic haemorrhaging in the name of salaries and allowances….leave alone the corruption and wastage by our elected and nominated @&&#*!£@. God have mercy.

    • This pug dog should be put…
      This pug dog should be put in jail and stay locked up until DP Ruto is arrested and locked up! A bunch of colossal thieves who have stolen our country blind! Ruto should be the next to be fired! Impeach the m$therfu$ker and recover all our stolen money! Ruto is hanging in the DO office to protect his evil deeds of stealing and killing others.

  3. Murkomen said he will not…
    Murkomen said he will not contribute to corona because he get 10K per month. His new wages will be negative.

    • Now he can go looking for…
      Now he can go looking for Musaanda to pay his bills! Shs 400,000 is a pretty cool amount to lose.

  4. I can only imagine the…
    I can only imagine the burden on poor Murkomen. If you recall he said his take home was only 10000 shillings. I calculate that he will be taking home between 5k and 7k after losing all these other perks. What a pitiful excuse for a leader. I’d like to say I feel sorry for him but you really must be living an extravagant lifestyle if you can’t make it on $85000 in Kenya

    • Murkomen is a stupid man!…
      Murkomen is a stupid man! And you know even God dos not like a foolish man who cannot manage His talents. So the money he could not give toward coronavirus has now been taken away in ten fold! God works I mysterious ways!

  5. kumbaff nyinyi if you love…
    kumbaff nyinyi if you love KENYA mbona ukae majuu!! Murkomen and Phoghisio are neighbors, they just applying social engineering to control your mind in pursuit for Ruto-2022

    • Whatever road(s) it will…
      Whatever road(s) it will take to kill Ruto’s 2022 presidential ambition is more than welcome. We can not have a known conman leading Kenya.

  6. His big mouth just got him…
    His big mouth just got him fired.So called cattle dip chairman why is your boss as silent as a lamb instead of coming to your defense or does he know he is next in line.But truthfully speaking Moi ruled this country for 24 years many Kenyans not just one tribe suffered did you think Kenyans are willing to risk another Kalenjin presidency I do not think so.

    • Honestly speaking, it is not…
      Honestly speaking, it is not about who rules Kenya. It is all about the kind of men Ruto himself is! He is unfit to rule Kenya! He has too much baggage dating back to YK92! That is where the chicken man learned the art of corruption, stealing and killing those who did not tore the line!

      He has stolen Kenya blind through fake deals of dams, arms, etc while eliminating those who had the first hand knowledge like Kenei to protect himself!

      He has used the opium of the masses, religion, to carry out his evil deeds just like Hitler, Mussolini, Kaddafhi, and the rest did.

      This is a man who conned through a PhD to earn a fake doctorate to buy glory for himself!

      Murkomen told that we have wasted three years fighting Ruto instead of fighting for Kenyans – ofcource he does not understand why Ruto is being fought because he is in the game of stealing with Ruto, and he is the lead choir boy for Ruto’s corruption.

      Murkomen and Ruto are one and the same thing! Ruto is the big snake while Murkomen is the small green snake in the grass used by Ruto to steal, and to execute all manner of things for Ruto. These folks must be stopped now and Uhuru is doing his part to stop them!

      Should we fail to neuter them now, Kenyans will come to regret why o one destroyed their cartel to save Kenya.

      This man protects thieves who directly steal from the poor people for him and with him. I can go on and on but let me put my case to rest for now – hoping you are catching the drift of who Ruto is! He is the most unfit man to lead Kenya!!

  7. This lad is very useless! He…
    This lad is very useless! He needed to be axed long time ago! Ati he says he will spill the beans? Which beans my big foot that we don’t know about fool??

    The cleansing should not stop until it touches the biggest culprit, DP Ruto, himself! He is the lone man behind the madness! The man is very evil and must be impeach!

    Murkomen can keep on talking until all ? roosters come home to rest. But the fight should not stop ✋ now! It is a very important fight to cleanse our country. It will only stop by getting rid of Ruto, the high priest of corruption; the phony preacher of theft!

  8. We the majority struggling…
    We the majority struggling kenyans remain the big idiots coz we vote for this thugs instead of voting for the right leaders like Ekuru so we should shut up n wait to make another tribal stupid elections electing same idiots juu at biggest idiots too then we expect change.Sisi ni masewage kama wao so tuache empty nonsense.

    • Sasa, wewe ni masewage??…
      Sasa, wewe ni masewage?? Kwani kabisa wewe umeshindwa Kama vile Shetani alishindwa!!! Ohhhh, boy the Devil is a very big liar for you to confess ati wewe ni masewage!!! Hii mambo ya Murkomen imeleta Shetani kabisa!!! Waoooo, siuchukue ile Dawa uponywe kutoka mikononi yake Shetani?

  9. The Angles of God are now…
    The Angles of God are now sings songs of praise because of the Murkomen firing! He used the Lord’s name in vain so many time to a point that Angles in Heaven sent Locusts, floods and even coronavirus to revenge! And now peace shall return to our land because God is for all of us!

  10. Surely this Murkomen does…
    Surely this Murkomen does not know how to herd his cows home safely! He has squandered everything he had by the looseness of his mouth! Murkomen can’t even be in charge of goats as he would lose everyone of them.

  11. Yaani wakikuyu mumeruka Ruto…
    Yaani wakikuyu mumeruka Ruto na camp yake hivi? Hamuwezi rudisha mkono? We! Remind me not to make deals with some people

    • There are public deals…
      There are public deals huwezi kurundisha mkono! It is hard to even want to pay homage to Ruto because of his perpetual arrogance! Ruto dug this hole and squarely dropped himself in there and buried himself using his core foot soldiers.

      And by the way, your feeling about doing “deals” with “some people” are quite mutual with those of the Kikuyus!

      They surely won’t want to do business deals with you. They are very independent people who only does business with those who are serious and are well disciplined to handle deals correctly!

      And as you are well aware, Ruto was never serious in his dealings with “some people” as you reluctantly want to put it for all of us to read!

    • @chris – You will never get…
      @chris – You will never get the opportunity to do deals with the Kikuyus; believe you, me.

      You are not advanced enough to make any deals with those, “ some people” you are insinuating here!

      You would have to go through Trump so he the authorization to even engage a Kikuyu for any deal with you; trust me! That how far above you the Kikuyus are!

      You ain’t fast enough to engage a Kikuyu in any sort of deal making because you don’t even have the bargaining power ability to negotiate, to say the least!!

      So you can keep day dreaming for a deal with the Kikuyus but obviously ? it will never come to pass!!

    • “@Chris,” who do you think…
      “@Chris,” who do you think you are referring to as “some people”? Are you talking about the Luo, Luhya, Kales, Kivirondo, Yokomo, Indiana or your mama?? Damn it!!!

      • Pang’ang’a ndio muko nayo…
        Pang’ang’a ndio muko nayo mingi sana. Facts are facts. I don’t support Ruto, just making candid observations. Because even if we had another candidate eyeing State House the GEMA attitude would’ve been the same. And yes these same people have sworn with their blood that NO ONE else outside the GEMA community will rule (Read Rule) as president. Tuambiane ukweli, and ashame the devil. Kikuyu/Gema will be their own undoing.

        • @chris – You are full of…
          @chris – You are full of donkey dodo! You are just a desperate guy, with self defeating cheap reasoning! Your mind isn’t big enough to lead; your mentality says it all! A defeated wet dog!

          Just stay where you are and expect others to rule you and for you! I would not want a mentally wounded man like you to rule Kenya. And yes, there are many of your kind; so don’t feel bad! After all you have a lot of company behind you!
