Kimaiyo, Murkomen to square off for senatorial seat

Former Police Boss David Kimaiyo has revealed fresh details on the circumstances that have seen him lose two lucrative State jobs in a period of 17 months.


Kimaiyo, who was recently fired as the Chairman of the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), alleged that his tribulations were orchestrated by Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen.
“I have served for more than 35 years so I wonder at what point I became incompetent,” he told a congregation at Kapsowar Catholic Church.

During the service at Kapsowar, Kimaiyo announced his intention to vie for the Elgeyo Marakwet senate seat to ensure Murkomen is not re-elected.
“If you witch-hunt someone out of a job, that someone could end up applying for your position if and when a vacancy arises,” he said in reference to Murkomen.

Kimaiyo did not, however, reveal his party of choice noting that he was still consulting on the matter.
The incumbent Marakwet Senator did not take the attack lying down and quickly issued a rejoinder.
On his Facebook page, Murkomen said that he was ready and willing to face the former police boss.
He added that as Kimaiyo prepares to run for the senate seat, he should be able to tell Kenyans why national security has improved remarkably after his exit.

Kimaiyo has earned the dubious honour of being the only Kenyan who has lost two senior State positions under President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government.
On December 2, 2014, President Kenyatta announced that Kimaiyo had resigned as Inspector General of Police. Many, however, speculated that the veteran police administrator had not resigned but was forced out of office.

He would later be appointed as Chairman of the KAA - a position the President later stripped him off amid accusations of incompetency and poor performance.
Kimaiyo has, however, insisted that he was forced out of government because of his unwillingness to engage in corrupt deals.
