A man on Twitter has predicted that Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen will own a jet by 2027.

In Murkomen's reply, he expressed his hope that Kimuzi's proposal of him possessing a 2007 Gulfstream G550 valued at over KSh 4 billion would come to fruition.

"Amen," Murkomen replied after Kimuzi said he would have the jet in the next three years.

However, there was an exchange after Murkomen said an 'Amen' to Kimuzi's prayer.

Kimuzi went ahead to explain ways in which he meant the CS would acquire the expensive jet.

Kimuzi: I forgot to add..in an illegitimate way‍♀️

Kipchumba Murkomen, E.G.H: You don’t have to apologise; my enemies are always in a state of confusion. Thank you, Lord!

Kimuzi: Well and good. Godspeed, in looting.

What are the features of the plane?

It has a maximum cruise speed of 878.4 kph and a maximum altitude of 57,000 feet, 4 DVD players, 7 individual LCD monitors, two 17-inch Rockwell LCDs, 14 passenger capacity, and a fully equipped galley (coffee maker, espresso maker, microwave oven, gasped cooled wine storage).

Additionally, the jet has an Enhanced Vision System (EVS), Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS 7.1), and a Triple Micro Air Data Computer, among other features.

Murkomen defends his affinity for fancy stuff

Kimuzi's prayer to Murkomen came after the CS defended his love for expensive stuff, including watches.

"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 said.

"In primary school, I had a watch that was difficult to get. My father tasked me with becoming number one to earn it. I read until I got dizzy. I missed being number one with two marks. My father had mercy on me and bought me that watch. I think that is where my love for watches started. That passion and background should never make you give up," added Murkomen.
