A funeral n Nyakahuru village in Muranga turned chaotic after the politicians who attended turned it into a platform to display the rivalry between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, Dr. William Ruto.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is reported to have sent Kangema MP Muturi Kigano with a donation of one million shillings to condole with the family. The five members of the family died in a car crash accident where John Kamau lost his child, his sister, his brother, his brother’s wife and child. DP Ruto also sent a Sh 300,000 donationation through the outspoken Kandara Mp Alice Alice Wahome and Kiharu Mp Ndindi Nyoro. Kangema MP Kigano,claimed that the President had financed all the burial expenses and there no other help was needed. That trashed the contribution made by Dp's allies.
Kigano further went on to talk about an incident where Ndindi and a host of Kieleweke MPs led by Maina Kamanda clashed at Gitui Catholic church in Kiharu last year where Ndindi was arrested.
Ndindi in his response claimed that the scene saddened him too but he came on his behalf and that of the Deputy President. “Such a thing has never been seen before in Murang’a. Such things do not have boundaries. Anyone can visit the family to support and comfort them,” Ndindi responded. Bur Wahome went all blown out and not to restrict people who want to stand with the family.
“We also understand that this is not a place to play politics but we are hustlers and this is a hustler home that needs support.” she said.
That led to a tense moment as the politicians kept exchanging words.
