Even before the dust of the Anti-Finance Bill demonstrations that left tens dead and hundreds seriously injured settles, Kenyans, especially on Twitter, are once again wondering what could be wrong with President William Ruto and his KK administration at large.
This follows the emergence of allegations that Transport and Infrastructure CS Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen was arrested a few days ago in Dubai while carrying cash worth 210 million dollars in his briefcase, prompting FBI involvement.
According to unconfirmed reports by two vocal X users, George T. Diano and Soko Analysts, it took the intervention of President William Ruto and the Kenyan government for the release of the CS, who has reportedly been banned from entering the United States of America due to corruption and graft-related cases.

The development has undoubtedly triggered Kenyans’ anger, with a majority of citizens wondering why President William Ruto has been lying regarding debt payment and how their taxes have been used to pay debts, leading to such humiliating incidents.
“A CS was arrested in Dubai with 210 million in cash, and the President had to intervene to secure his release. My question is, where is this money coming from? And you wonder why our debt keeps going up despite the payments we are making. This is a reason to make sure Ruto and his team leave,” Soko Analyst, an X user, wrote on July 3.

Responding to the claims, George T. Diano, a digital activist known for not mincing his words and who was recently arrested for being vocal in the Gen Z demonstrations, revealed that the CS referred to in Sonko Analyst’s X post is none other than CS Kipchumba Murkomen.
“It was in dollar denominations, and he actually spent two days in custody with the FBI involved. Ameniblock, but tell Kipchumba Murkomen there will be no escape route for him. I hear he’s among the CSs the US government has pressured the President to fire ASAP!” George T. Diano wrote on X.
