| How the funeral venue looked after the chaos (l), Gachagua at a past event (r) |
An old man has bitterly cursed the people who planned and executed the disruption of Erastus Nduati’s funeral to chase former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua away. . What happened to Erastus Nduati? Nduati died after sadly being hacked by his brother, who also wanted to kill their mother, but she managed to outwit him.
All was well at the beginning of the funeral, and Riggy G was seen calmly reading the eulogy and singing hymns to other mourners. The former deputy president did not get an opportunity to address the mourners as suspected goons disrupted the event. A video shared on social media captured the goons uprooting the VIP tent, destroying chairs, and causing chaos. Why was the Limuru old man angry?
After calm had returned at the funeral, an old man emerged lamenting how they had formed a committee and painstakingly planned the funeral of their loved one. He wished that the ones who planned the attack on mourners would one day know just how it feels to have something like that happen to them. “May someone he loves die. God knows the one who caused this may they also suffer the same problem and the way we struggled with burial plans and digging the grave,” lamented the elderly man in a Facebook video shared by DJ Sonnie.
How Kenyans reacted to the video: James Muriithi: “Soo sad.shame on them.” Njeri Wa Njenga: “Wote na family zao…mwenye amehusika.” Njeri Wa Njenga: “Wote na family zao..mwenye amehusika .” Eunice Kiarie: “Aki I feel sad nikion mzee kama huyu akilia hivi.” John Muhatia Liveha: “Ambieni Gachagwa wenu akae tu kwa nyumba aonange tu TV.”
