A video circulating on social media showing former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua allegedly celebrating the death of MP Johana Ngeno has angered many leaders across the country.
In the short clip, which has been widely shared online, Gachagua is reportedly seen making remarks that many Kenyans interpreted as insensitive during a time of mourning.
The video quickly attracted strong reactions from Kenyans on different social media platforms.
Many people questioned how a senior political leader could appear to celebrate the death of a public figure at a time when family, friends, and supporters are still mourning.
Some described the alleged remarks as disrespectful and unfortunate.
Among the leaders who reacted was Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen. According to reports, the CS sent a strong message to officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), urging them to act quickly.
He reportedly asked investigators to look into the matter and ensure that leaders do not take advantage of such sensitive moments to spread political narratives.
The CS is also said to have insisted that the former Deputy President be summoned to explain his remarks.
As the video continues to circulate widely, many Kenyans are now waiting to see whether the DCI will officially summon Gachagua and what steps will be taken next.
