There was drama during a burial ceremony on Monday, 10 February, after Laikipia North MP Sarah Korere openly confronted allies of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
During the church service, Korere launched into an impassioned tirade, criticising Gachagua's allies for allegedly using every platform, including funerals, to push their political agenda. "I am a Catholic, and I do not want to see people bringing shame to the altar...
Where I come from, when people go to a funeral, they leave these nonsensical sideshows," Korere told the stunned crowd.
She also took a swipe at the former Deputy President, questioning his calls for the Central Kenya voting bloc to abandon the Kenya Kwanza government, despite having been an integral part of the administration less than six months ago.
