The spat between Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung'wah, along with other leaders over the abduction of youths in the country, has elicited condemnation across the board.
The vicious exchange of words among leaders during the burial of Anne Nanyama, mother of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, in Bungoma has outraged Kenyans over the lack of decorum by leaders during sombre occasions like funerals, State functions, and particularly in the presence of President William Ruto.
The war of words was sparked by Natembeya when he asked President Ruto to put an end to the abduction of youths and government critics, a statement that infuriated Ichung'wah, who is also the Leader of Majority in the National Assembly.
Nairobi Senator and ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna, who attended the burial and witnessed the leaders trading jibes, expressed his displeasure on his X account, particularly at the remarks made by President Ruto's allies.
