Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah expressed disappointment in former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for attending Erastus Nduati’s funeral in Limuru, Kiambu, where chaos erupted on Thursday, November 28 Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah calls out Rigathi Gachagua for attending Limuru funeral.
Why Ichung’wah condemned Gachagua’s presence in Limuru In a press interview, Ichung’wah subtly criticised Gachagua and his allies, accusing them of pushing a political agenda and showing little regard for the grieving family.
“I would like to ask politicians to stop taking politics to funerals. Taking politics to funerals shows a complete disregard for the bereaved families because you want to push for your own agendas.
I would like to ask all of them to first respect those who have lost their loved ones,” Ichungwah said. The National Assembly majority leader added that politicians, seemingly referencing Gachagua, should refrain from seeking sympathy at funerals or in churches. “I want to condemn the chaos that erupted in Limuru. What happened on that day was very embarrassing.
Those going to carry out politics to look for sympathy in funerals should not do that or in churches. They should also respect themselves,” Ichung’wah said. He also condemned the chaos at the funeral, which resulted in numerous injuries and the destruction of property of unknown value. “Let us act like noble people. Let us respect the bereaved families,” Ichung’wah said.
