On Thursday, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga accompanied President Kenyatta to the burial of Peter Kenneth's mother, Mama Rahab Wambui in Gatanga, Murang'a County.
During the burial, Odinga expressed his condolences to the family and praised Kenneth's character, describing him as a gentleman.
He said, 'We are here to condole with you for losing Mama Rahab, who brought up this man 'Muthongo wa Gatanga' (Kenneth's nickname) into the gentleman he is…. His ways, the way he handles his business and the way he presents himself you can see he is a gentleman. So, Mr. President, this man needs to be given a job in government.'
