Tuesday, July 9, 2024 - Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has been forced to come clean about his wardrobe after Kenyans complained that he was wearing expensive outfits that he allegedly bought using the proceeds of corruption.
Speaking during an interview
on Obinna Show, Murkomen acknowledged his love for watches, noting
that the highest amount he had ever spent to purchase one was Ksh900,000.
He detailed that one of the
watches, reported to cost Ksh4 million, was bought at a huge discount from a
friend.
On the other hand, he noted that
his most expensive shoe was around Ksh70,000 to Ksh80,000.
Regarding his most expensive
tie, he revealed that he has a neckpiece in his wardrobe which he bought at
Ksh20,000.
"The most expensive shoe
may be around Ksh70,000 to Ksh80,000. The belt is probably Ksh50,000. I don't
have to wear 2 belts in two years. One belt is enough. You can just buy one
belt which can be flipped."
"One side is black and the other side is brown. The most expensive watch I have bought with my money is Ksh900,000.
"If you buy a watch for Ksh900,000 you wear it for 20 years,"
he stated.
The CS detailed that he had a
weakness for a nice pair of shoes and watches, citing his family background.
Murkomen also clarified that he
bought the items with his own hard-earned money. He maintained that he had not
been a beneficiary of the proceeds of corruption.
The CS detailed that most of his
wealth was acquired from his salary as a senator and CS, his law practice,
avocado farming, and export business.
