Former Senate Majority Leader and Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has reacted to the success of Building Bridges Initiative Bill Constitutional Amendment Bill 2020 in County Assemblies.
Taking to Twitter, the Senator wondered why the BBI proponents were happy with the new development yet they are on their own.
“Why are BBI promoters excited and overjoyed? When you are running on your own, how are you celebrating that you won?” Wrote Murkomen.
