Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday held a rare public meeting during the burial of former Kirinyaga Senator Daniel Karaba in Kirinyaga County.
The encounter, which took place in full public view, marked one of the few times the two leaders have been seen together since leaving office, drawing significant attention from mourners and political observers alike.
Leaders present at the funeral emphasized unity and respect, with speakers calling for calm and cohesion during the solemn occasion. “This is a moment to honour the life and legacy of a dedicated leader who served his people diligently,” one leader said during the ceremony.
Karaba, who served as Kirinyaga Senator, was remembered as a committed public servant who championed development and represented the interests of his constituents with dedication.
The meeting between Kenyatta and Gachagua, though brief, sparked conversations within political circles, with observers interpreting it as a notable moment of engagement between two influential figures in Kenya’s leadership landscape.
The burial ceremony brought together leaders from across the political divide, reflecting the respect and recognition accorded to the late Karaba’s service to the nation.
