Earlier in February, the Fifa World Cup was presented at State House and Murkomen was among the legislators who were present.
He was however not allowed to touch the trophy due to rules which state that other than past winners only presidents are allowed to do so.
In March, the Standard published a series of photos of the Majority Senate leader falling during a football match when the World Cup Trophy was received by President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House.
The snapshot captioned "All legislation Without Play Makes Murkomen a Dull Senator" was slyly described as: "Senator Murkomen tried to beat the law of gravity, but it was all in vain as he tripped and fell during a football match between Copa Coca-Cola select and MPs Select teams."
The Jubilee Senator took notice of the photos faulting the publication for not acknowledging that he had scored the lone goal for his team.
"Hii ni hujuma (this is sabotage) and they are not even saying I scored the goal," he lamented via his Twitter account.
