A video has emerged showing the new Cabinet Secretary nominee for the Ministry of Sports, Youth Affairs, and the Arts, Kipchumba Murkomen, appearing to squeal in a lot of pain.

To the surprise of many, Ruto nominated Murkomen, a highly controversial figure, for the sports docket, which naturally polarized the opinions of many stakeholders.
