A controversial scene was witnessed in Nyakahura village in Kangema, Murang’a County, after politicians fought about who had to pay for the funeral costs for a family who had lost five of their relatives in a road accident.
On Wednesday, the family arranged a regular mourning ceremony to prepare and fundraise a proper send-off for their departed loved ones.
The area MP Muturi Kigano who is allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta was an unexpected visitor at the ceremony where Neighbouring MPs allied to Deputy President William Ruto – Ndindi Nyoro of Kiharu and Alice Wahome of Kandara – also made their way into the matanga, setting ground for an ugly clash.
MP Muturi Kigano allegedly claimed that President Uhuru Kenyatta had sent him with Ksh 1M to cater for the funeral costs.
“The President personally volunteered to cater for the funeral costs and he did not ask for help. Even I did not top up the donation because he told me if anything else is needed, I should alert him immediately.”
“I do not think its right that these MPs left their constituencies and did not have the courtesy to inform me of their mission here because Kangema people are capable people, it is not like we are unable to sort our issues but if they genuinely want to give, let them give without playing Tanga Tanga politics,” Kigano told mourners.
