Gachagua Breaks Silence on Moses Kuria’s Murang’a Burial Drama
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has broken his silence on the humiliating ordeal faced by Moses Kuria, Senior Economic Advisor to President William Ruto, during a burial in Murang’a on Saturday, November 23.
Speaking at a different event, Gachagua defended the reaction of Murang’a residents, asserting that it was neither planned nor malicious.
Gachagua described the incident as a spontaneous expression of dissatisfaction, stemming from the frustration of the people with what they deemed as “false and tiring” rhetoric.
The Ousted Deputy President reiterated that the residents acted in line with his earlier advice on how to handle such situations.
“I told you we can’t go to the roads to destroy property since it is our property at the end of the day,” Gachagua remarked. “I told you to just keep silent, and you did so. I also told you if you feel so aggrieved that you can’t hold it in, you have the option of singing.”
He acknowledged witnessing the public adhering to his guidance, particularly when faced with unwelcome speeches. “And I saw yesterday that people listen to me,” Gachagua added.
The Former Deputy President explained the sequence of events, indicating that the crowd had initially listened to Kuria’s speech but grew increasingly agitated by his remarks. “Someone came and started giving people [tiring and false] stories. They listened for a while and demanded that he stop speaking, but he insisted on continuing. And my people, as we agreed, you started singing to silence him.”
Kuria’s encounter with heckling and eventual ejection from the burial has sparked widespread debate, with some viewing it as a reflection of growing discontent within the community.
Gachagua’s remarks appear to be an attempt to defuse tension, emphasizing the peaceful yet assertive approach advocated by the leadership in response to grievances.
