Leader of Majority Kimani Ichungwah's vitriolic outbursts during the burial of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula's mother last week conveyed a serious lack of empathy and emotional intelligence.
When he blew his top and turned a solemn funeral ceremony into a forum for settling scores with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, he registered a new low in sycophantic disposition.
Ichung'wah's outbursts were disrespectful to Wetang'ula, the Bukusu people and the entire Luhya community whose burial customs he dis-paraged.
Outside church, burials among the Luhya are the second most sacred places where differences are masked.
