The law will catch up with you, Murkomen warns corrupt leaders

The law will catch up with you, Murkomen warns corrupt leaders

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has warned corrupt leaders that the law will eventually catch up with them.

Speaking to Citizen Extra’s Waihiga Mwaura live from Eldoret on Monday morning, Murkomen stated that leaders should not use their offices as a shield against justice from their crimes.

“Crime never rots. If anyone thinks that they left office and are sitting pretty, they will still be brought into account,” said Murkomen.

“And if those who are in office think that the fact that they’re in office is a shield for them, that is a momentary and temporary shield. The wheels of justice will still keep rolling and, when the time comes, the axe will be on their necks.”

The Senate Majority Leader further dismissed claims that, for the past five years, the role of senators in the country has been limited to undermining governors and looking for ways to replace them during the next elections.

“People must live with the idea that a Senator’s responsibility is to fight for oversight. You cannot, on one hand, cry that corruption is thriving yet when we deal with it you say that we are undermining governors,” said Murkomen.
