Gachagua Cleared to Attend Ol Kalou MP’s Funeral, Seating Plan Confirmed

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will attend the funeral of the late Ol Kalou MP David Kiaraho, with organizers now confirming his place in the official seating arrangement.

According to the finalized program, Gachagua will be seated alongside Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot, signaling his formal inclusion in the high-profile ceremony.

The confirmation comes amid earlier speculation that the former Deputy President might be barred from attending the burial. The reports had stirred debate in political circles, with questions raised about protocol and possible tensions within the leadership.

However, Gachagua dismissed the claims, maintaining that he would be present to honor the late legislator. “I will attend and pay my respects,” he said, emphasizing the importance of unity and respect during moments of mourning.

The funeral of Kiaraho, who served as the Ol Kalou MP, is expected to draw a host of political leaders, residents, and supporters, reflecting his influence in Nyandarua County and beyond.

Observers note that Gachagua’s confirmed attendance—and his placement among senior leaders—could help ease earlier concerns of political friction, at least for the duration of the solemn occasion.

As family, friends, and colleagues gather to bid farewell, the focus is expected to remain on celebrating Kiaraho’s life and legacy, even as the event unfolds under the watch of a politically attentive audience.
