Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has hit out at President Uhuru Kenyatta after the latter held a meeting with over 3000 youth at State House.
Speaking in Kakamega County on Saturday, Murkomen urged Kenyatta to respect the institution of State House.
"I heard they were singing yote yawezekana bile Ruto. Why didn't they sing in 2013 and 2017? I want to tell the President that he has embarrassed himself and the State House. Respect the institution of State House. If you want to hold a meeting, let's meet at Kamukunji," the Senator said.
The President on Friday at State House Nairobi held a meeting with over 3,000 young leaders convened by the Ministry of ICT, Innovation, and Youth to review the progress of youth empowerment initiatives and affirmative action programmes.

Kenyatta urged Kenyans to be accommodative of each other saying lack of political inclusivity had for a long time held back the country's progress.
“The issue that has plagued our country is lack of representation amongst our people which we tried to resolve through the Building Bridges Initiative. However a few individuals poisoned the minds of Kenyans.
“Unless we find a way of accommodating each other and not having a few individuals running the Government we will not make any progress as a country,” the Head of State said.
