Chaos on Wednesday broke out at Muragara Primary School grounds in Ndia, Kirinyaga County, when supporters of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and those of Mathira Member of Parliament Eric Wamumbi clashed at funeral service.

The supporters were attending the funeral service of the late Anne Wanjiru Mumbuchi when clashes over political differences broke out.

Drama started when MP Wamumbi spoke against Gachagua when he addressed the mourners, claiming that the former DP did not support late Wanjiru despite her being his political supporter.

The Mathira legislator accused Gachagua of merely using Wanjiru politically and then dumping her afterwards.

“Ukweli ni kwamba Rigathi Gachagua hajasaidia huyu mama, na kama amesaidia akuje aseme hapa amemasaidia na nini. Rigathi Gachagua ametumia huyu mama na hajamsaidia na kitu,” said Wamumbi.

“Na sisi kama watu wa Mathira hatuungi Rigathi Gachagua mkono sababu aliachilia huyu mama…alimtumia akamwachilia. Sisi kama watu wa Mathira hatuungi msimamo wa Rigathi Gachagua.”

It was then that Gachagua’s supporters confronted Wamumbi and urged him to leave the funeral, but the MP and his supporters maintained their ground.

Kirinyaga leaders among them Senator Kamau Murango, Woman Representative Njeri Maina and Baragwi MCA David Mathenge condemned Wamumbi over what they termed as his arrogance, saying they had agreed to keep off politics at the funeral.

“We did not speak politics as we agreed but it is him who has caused all this chaos for accusing the former DP who was not here,” said Murango.

The chaos almost disrupted the funeral but calm returned after about 30 minutes of back and forth.
