The county chief was met with hostility from mourners who refused to allow her to read President William Rutoโs condolence message in honour of the late Henry Gachie, brother of Bahati MP Irene Njoki.
However, the burial ceremony quickly turned into a platform for expressing discontent towards the Kenya Kwanza administration and leaders.

Struggling to make her voice heard, Kihika told the impatient crowd that Rutoโs message was intended for the grieving family, but her efforts were met with more jeers.
“Siku hizi mko moto sanaโฆ tunashukuru kwa kutupa ujumbe wa hali halisi,” she said after hurriedly reading the president’s speech.

The political atmosphere was similarly unwelcoming for Kenya Kwanza leaders who tried to highlight some of Ruto’s achievements.
Ndia MP George Macharia was also met with hostility from the mourners as he attempted to speak about the governmentโs agenda.
Macharia tried to highlight how Ruto’s administration would strive to complete all roads, but he was forced to cut his speech short.
Having read the room, East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP Kanini Kega distanced himself from the country’s happenings.
“I don’t want to say much because I’m usually not here; I am in Tanzania. So, ask me about matters concerning Tanzania, Arusha, and Somalia,” Kega said, eliciting laughter.
