A war of words that might soon get physical is brewing real thick and fast at the Rift Valley Province. This is a war involving William Ruto’s lieutenants only that one has since shifted camps.
Kipchumba Murkomen is known to be a fierce defender of Deputy President William Ruto while Cheragany MP Joshua Kutuny is now leading a pack of rebels that have come out to greatly criticize William Ruto’s leadership.
Kutuny and and his company have questioned Ruto’s development record especially in the Rift Valley while also calling him out for masterminding the plight of maize farmers in the Rift Valley.
During a disscussion on Citizen TV’s News Night, the two leaders went on a low by digging into their past lives way before fame, money and power came in.
Murkomen claimed that MP Joshua Kutuny was picked from the street while selling charcoal by DP William Ruto.
” William Ruto Picked you from dust while selling charcoal and made you who you are,” said Murkomen
Joshua Kutuny did not take that allegation lightly as he also hit back at Murkomen with claims that the senator is not grateful as it is him (MP Kutuny) who funded his first campaign and bought him his first Toyota Harrier car which he used to campaign during the 2013 elections.
“I picked you off the streets of Eldoret and made you Senator in 2013. I campaigned for you. I bought you the first car you used to camapaign. The Toyota Harrier. I used to give you money for upkeep.” said Kutuny.
The two were seemingly out to completely destroy each other with Murkomen launching a series of attacks on Kutuny, attacks that Kutuny responded to real quick.
According to Murkomen, MP Joshua Kutuny is wanted by the FBI and CIA for being a key conduit of drugs and associate of the Akasha’s in the ongoing trial of members of drug trafficking family.
Senator Murkomen warned Kutuny to be careful as he would soon have to face the wrath of CIA and FBI because while he (Murkomen) and others have been urging farmers to diversify elsewhere, “Kutuny diversified into pharmaceuticals.”
Kutuny on the the hand accused Murkomen of being behind the coaching of the ICC witnesses in a bid to have DP Ruto locked up at the Hague.
Their verbal attacks on each other on live TV elicited a number of reactions among Kenyans with some questioning their sobriety while some actually enjoyed the verbal exchanges.

Silas Tiren ,Joshua Kutuny, Kipchumba murkomen and William Ruto supplied maize to NCPB!!
They are all part of this scheme.!
We can’t be fooled any more as Kenyans on this maize scam.
They are fighting for something hidden in NCPB@citizentvkenya#NewsNight

If indeed as @kipmurkomen says that there are 37 million bags in the country and NCPB only buys 4 million. Why then does the same government allow cartels to import say the 4million bags of maize from Zambia rather than buying from the 37million bags available? Nkt #newsnight

Am sure Mr. Ruto is sitted in his house watching his leutenants exchange on #newsnight
Over the Maize scandal.@kipmurkomen Is a great warrior. He is fighting quite well.— CAPTAiN JOSH?? (@JoshTheChelsea) November 27, 2018
Murkomen is a Spanner boy who was sent by his Boss to threaten Kutuny by telling him that his days are numbered amidst the claims that Kutuny wants to revive the ICC cases. This discussion wasn’t really about the benefit of the farmers but to send a message to Kutuny. #NewsNight
