Calls for Murkomen’s Resignation Explode After Priest’s Brutal Killing in Kerio Valley.

Tensions have hit a boiling point as pressure mounts on Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to vacate office following a brutal attack that has rocked the nation.

The killing of Catholic priest Alloyce Cheruiyot Bett in the troubled Kerio Valley has triggered outrage, with Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba leading the charge. Her message was blunt: “Murkomen has failed. He must resign.”

In a fiery statement, Wamuchomba accused Murkomen of abandoning his core duty—protecting Kenyans—despite his past criticisms of previous regimes over the same issues. The MP didn’t hold back: “He’s been louder as an opposition voice than as a Cabinet Secretary. His leadership in the security docket is a disaster.”

Her sentiments echo those of Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, who earlier launched a scathing attack on the CS during a Senate session, calling Murkomen unfit to manage Kenya’s fragile internal security.

“What I saw two years ago has come true! When a Cabinet Secretary fails in road management, it’s repairable. But when they fail in security, people die,” Cherargei exclaimed, visibly shaken.

The fallout has sparked a national outcry. Across social media platforms, Kenyans are venting their frustration, with hashtags demanding Murkomen’s resignation trending throughout the day. Public confidence is visibly shaken, especially in regions plagued by violence and banditry.

This isn’t the first time Murkomen has found himself in the hot seat. While serving as Transport CS, he faced similar uproar over project delays. Back then, he blamed inadequate funding. But this time, the stakes are far higher—and blood has been spilled.

The nation is mourning, and the anger is palpable.

President William Ruto has stepped in, offering condolences to the family of Father Bett and promising swift action. “We will not let insecurity define our nation. Every corner of Kenya must be safe,” he said during a press briefing.

But for many Kenyans, words are no longer enough.

As the country grapples with rising insecurity, the chorus calling for Murkomen’s exit grows louder by the hour. Whether he stays or steps aside, one thing is clear—Kenyans are demanding accountability, and they want it now.
