Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has been having a steamy affair with nominated Senator Naisula Lesuuda.
According to a leakage by local weekly paper, The Nairobian, the Senator, who is also a lawyer, has fallen in love with the Lesuuda, who is the daughter of the ACK Bishop of Maralal.
So smitten is Murkomen with the 33 year old former TV girl that he confesses his feelings for her in an email in our possession, gushing: “I fell in love with you, I don’t know how, I don’t know where but I did.”
In a WhatsApp chat, he tells Lesuuda he wishes he had met her earlier because she is his ‘match’. “And you just love someone for who and what they are and not just for laying. I love you just like that. Even of (sic) nothing happens I won’t complain as long as I have you,” coos the former varsity lecturer.
A part of a chat sent while she is preparing to board a plane. “Your company and presence means a lot to me than anything else and your giggles and you telling me ‘hajana nayo…”
She responds, “Leaving in few babes, don’t go away yet…”, the ‘babes’ a term of endearment women use to address the men they love.
One of the undated photos in our possession captures the two senators on the live chat application, Facetime. Murkomen is bare chest while Lesuuda only shows her face. Both of them are in bed. His name on her phone is saved as “Lemaiyan”, perhaps to hide his real identity, but the accompanying picture is that of the senator.
According to the Nairobian, Lesuuda has been living the high life since she got involved with Murkomen. The paper reports:
“According to our investigations, at the time the two senators were exchanging these lovey-dovey chats, Lesuuda was living with her longtime boyfriend, a little known IT expert.
Theirs appears to be the typical office romance, playful and naughty, and aided in no small measure by the privileges of parliament and the travel opportunities that come with the job.
Take a conversation dated October 19, 2015 in which Lesuuda sends Murkomen a message alerting him about a trip to China, to which he responds: “Kuna ukora nataka tufanye (I want us to get involved in some mischief)”.”
