Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen on Monday morning claimed that President Uhuru Kenyatta does not hold cabinet meetings.

Senator Murkomen, who was on a live radio interview at Spice Radio, said that President Uhuru's last cabinet meeting could have been in 2020.

"We have a president at the moment who doesn't even hold cabinet meetings. The last he held a cabinet meeting could have been last year," Senator Murkomen claimed.

When asked about why Deputy President William Ruto had not implemented the 'bottom up' economic agenda while in office, he labelled President Uhuru as a trickle-down president.

"We have a Trickle down man at the top, we're saying a bottom-up person should be at the top. The buck stops at the presidency," Senator Murkomen responded.

The outspoken senator asked that DP Ruto be judged for his stint as a cabinet minister during President Mwai Kibaki's last term in office.

He went ahead to credit DP Ruto for lowering the construction to Ksh 50 million.

Senator Murkomen also attributed the revival of Kenya's agriculture sector to DP William Ruto as he criticised the Uhuru government for raising fertilizer prices.
