On 20 November 2018, this Nyakundi Report archive recorded a handful of Kenyan politicians and public figures who were seen in tears in public, each in a different setting and for different reasons.
Among the names mentioned was President Uhuru Kenyatta, who was said to have become emotional during Kamaru’s funeral after a woman identified as Celina, who used to sing with the late Kamaru, spoke with him. The account says the two laughed before the president broke into tears of joy.
Deputy President William Ruto was also listed after an emotional moment at Faith Evangelistic Church, where he reportedly broke down while speaking at the altar soon after he was elected deputy president.
Former Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua was included as well, with the archive saying he broke down in tears while delivering an emotional speech.
The final name on the list was musician Charles Njagua, popularly known as Jaguar, who was said to have cried publicly at the Jubilee party headquarters after being told that the only way to secure the Starehe ticket was to negotiate with veteran city politician Hon Maina Kamanda.
The source embedded video clips alongside the entries, but the core claims were limited to these public tearful moments and the circumstances described around them.
