However, what most Kenyans noted was the designer watch that he flossed as he was photographed holding his chin.
This is what he posted on X:
According to Rolex, the approximately KSh 4 million designer watch offers a sporty alternative to metal bracelets. The bracelet attaches to the watch case and the Oysterlock safety clasp by a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade.

Murkomen defends his love for expensive watches
The CS recently said his affinity for classy watches and such accessories dates back years when he was a teenager.
Murkomen has been under public scrutiny as he steps out in pricey watches and shoes, the naysayers attributing the affluence to supposed public funds by virtue of his holding of public office.
He defended himself by saying he worked so hard while explaining how he loved wearing the watches, only difference was now he was rocking expensive ones.
"I saw a debate on social media about the shoes I wear and the watch. I was really surprised. I asked my wife 'Is that me?'. I even asked my sister if that was us they were talking about. We have made it to this level," he added.
