Senate Majority leader Kipchumba Murkomen has launched an attack against political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi over his comments on Deputy President Dr William Ruto’s speech.

DP Ruto on Thursday morning addressed the nation on the COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the country.

His address however, went against many people’s expectations, that led to them attacking the DP on social media.

Mutahi Ngunyi is among the people who criticized the second in command’s speech.

Taking to his twitter handle immediately DP Ruto finished addressing the nation, Mutahi Ngunyi argued that DP Ruto had appointed himself Co-President and gave a statement from his Co-Government.

He said that one has to read President Kenyatta’s eyes for him/her to understand him, and read DP Ruto’s body language for you to understand him.

“To UNDERSTAND Uhuru Kenyatta, read his EYES. To UNDERSTAND “Deputy President William Ruto”, READ his BODY LANGUAGE. Today it is COMBATIVE and DEFIANT. He has appointed himself Co-President and is giving a statement from his Co-Government. This is BOLD!” Mutahi Ngunyi tweeted.

Responding to the tweet, Murkomen attacked the political analyst, arguing that he knew whoever Mutahi Ngunyi was working for.

Murkomen said that the person in question was using the COVID-19 pandemic to do politics, terming the move s a shameless and evil scheme.

The Elgeyo Marakwet senator says the person’s mission for 2 years has been to annihilate the DP politically.

Murkomen says this is the time for unity and not division, arguing that all governments in the world are utilizing not sidelining their leaders.

“You are tweeting for a person I KNOW.That PERSON is doing politics with COVID19,-a shameless evil scheme!His mission for 2 years has been to annihilate the DP politically.This is time for unity not division.All governments in the world are utilizing not sidelining their leaders,” he tweeted.
