Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has criticized Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya for hindering development and undermining the healthcare system in the region. He expressed concern over the lack of a hospital in the county, stating that the people have suffered as a result. Murkomen also criticized Natembeya for the stalled construction of the Kenyatta Stadium in Kitale and other sports facilities, arguing that this has denied young people the chance to develop their talents in a region known for its sporting potential.
He pointed out that the stadium should be built to the same standards as other stadiums in the country and demanded that the Governor hand it over. President William Ruto echoed Murkomen's concerns, vowing to continue pushing for the completion of the projects in Trans Nzoia, emphasizing that the government will not let the region suffer due to tribalism and political divides.
During Mazingira Day celebrations in Endebess, Murkomen praised village elders and the National Gender and Equality Office (NGEO) for their role in coordinating and mobilizing Kenyans for the national exercise.
