Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen, Gatundu MP Moses Kuria and Meru Senator Mithika Linturi on Saturday missed seats at Mt Kenya BBI meeting held at Kinoru Stadium in Meru County.
Pictures making rounds on social media showed the three leaders standing behind a host of leaders who had already taken their seats.
According to ODM’s Director of Communication Philip Etale, the leaders missed out on the seats after they arrived late.
“I appeal to handlers of my friend Senator Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen and his team Hon. Moses Kuria included to always ensure they come early to grab a seat for his boss. We know they have other pressing engagements elsewhere that force them to arrive late for BBI rallies,” wrote Etale.
He added that: “leaders who believe in the course have arrived. Kenyans who believe in the course are seated. Opportunists want to come late to seek attention.”
This is not the first time that the leaders missed out on seats.

Hustlers need no seats. Wakalie kofia ama Nyasi.

The developments come at a time when the leaders have been accused of hypocrisy when attending the BBI meting.
City Lawyer Donald Kipkorir on Saturday labelled the leaders as hypocrites for castigating the BBI course yet attending the rally at the same time.
“TangaTanga MPs & Supporters are all over twitter saying #BBINonsense but are on the way to #BBIMtKenyaEdition in Kinoru, Meru. Their hypocrisy should be stopped. They can’t be abusing BBI but want to address its rallies. You can’t have your cake & eat it. I trust Merus to end it,” he tweeted.
You said BBI rallies are a waste of public resources. You then board a chopper to the same rally then expect to be given…

Criticizing the BBI doesn’t mean it’s unwholesome. It means there is something else that there that needs shaping,
It’s becoming serious now
BBI bullshit,,, ni biashara ya mganga kwan nani hajui
Nambega Nambega: Don’t shot from the mouth. Give BBI a chance.
Look at yourself are you employed even
For simple reason is rebrand of Mass # okoa Kenya to weigh Waters of 2022 what’s so different issue in BBI that is not in the current constitution Railla is helping the president to defy the constitution that the president sweated to protect as NASA umekamatia chini jubilee
Bbi is being ran by their party boss why then do they criticize!
Kwani bbi ni ya waiguru na kiratu? Kinoru was about us Kikuyus and the likes of kieleweke should know. Sisi sio wajinga we handle the issues not multitudes. We need to be paid our sweat ie tea, coffee, rice etc. BBI is not NYS or any other scadle for their benefit # mt kenya
As Honor’s…, They should be respected
No body can stop reggae, murkomen will soon welcome BBI to his marakwet area.
Waezaje kuita kiongozi mganga?hao Tanga Tanga wamepoteza malengo yao,,Kama huna haja na BBI kaa kwa Mlango yako
BBI is a con game of the century, Raila you can’t be reigning our future this way. Nonsense
