CS Murkomen hit out Uhuru Kenyatta over his message to youth
Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen has hit out at former president Uhuru Kenyatta over his constant calls to the youth to rise up for better governance.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has hit out at former president Uhuru Kenyatta over his constant calls to the youth to rise up for better governance.
At every opportunity, Uhuru has called on the young generation to challenge the political status quo and pursue change.
According to the former president, the youth have great numbers that they could leverage in fighting for good leadership.
Murkomen, however, accused him of inciting the youth for selfish gains.
Speaking in Machakos during the county’s phase of the ongoing Jukwaa la Usalama forums, Murkomen said Uhuru was not best placed to lecture others on governance.

The CS stated that Uhuru was president and left power just recently, suggesting that his tenure was not the best for him to feel he is qualified and clean to advise on matters of governance.
“He was the president the other day; the ink he used to sign decisions with has not even dried. Suddenly has become very clever and an angel.
He is now the one to lecture us and ask the youth to demonstrate, yet he was the president just recently. This exploitation of our young people is not right. I want to ask leaders across the political divide: this is not an issue of political gain, but an issue we must all act responsibly,” the CS said.
Murkomen’s sentiments were underscored by lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi, who argued that the former president does not have the moral ground to lecture others on leadership.
The lawyer observed that impunity, extrajudicial acts, and corruption, among others, were rampant during Uhuru’s era, hence making him lose relevance as far as good governance is concerned.
