Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen is an ardent Manchester United supporter who must be hurting from what is happening at Old Trafford.
Murkomen has previously travelled to Old Trafford to watch a match and is always quick to defend Ruben Amorim’s team from attack against rival fans, who include some of his political colleagues, but he surely has no words to explain their poor form at the moment.
Mohammed Ali

Nyali Member of Parliament Mohammed Ali has supported Manchester United since he was young and took it further when he became a journalist.
Ali still follows the team closely and rarely misses their matches, with his constant social media updates expressing his feelings towards the team.
Millicent Omanga

Former nominated senator Millicent Omanga is perhaps one that has taken her support for Manchester United even further after she placed a Kah1 million bet with friends on Amorim’s team to win the Europa League.
So sure of a United win was Omanga that she was confident of making Ksh4 million from her four friends but as fate would have it, they lost and so was her Ksh1 million.
Omanga has divided opinion on social media with her love for United but she has stayed steadfast in her support.
Cleophas Malala
)
Former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala is another ardent Manchester United supporter who never misses an opportunity to express his love for the team.
Malala, who is also the brains behind the popular off-season Malala Super Cup, dons United jerseys whenever he can and defends the club against rival supporters.
Rebecca Miano
)
Tourism Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano faced a backlash from Kenyans when she donned a Manchester United jersey and expressed her affection for the club in April.
Miano pushed the United agenda on social media but not everyone was excited as some Kenyans felt she should have been fronting a local club instead but that did not deter her.
