Maraga, who has announced his intention to run for president in the 2027 general election, was among the leaders who attended the funeral of Catherine Nyamato, the first female MP from the Gusii area.
The funeral, held in Nyamira County on Friday, August 8, attracted hundreds of mourners, including political leaders, community elders, and family members of the late MP.
Was Maraga close to the late Nyamato?
Maraga began to pay his respects in a calm voice, remembering his close relationship with Nyamato and referred to him as a voter.
The former CJ gave condolences to his family and praised his confidence in defending human rights.
“For Catherine, who is lying here, for her family and her children, we say that we are very sorry. This was a brave woman. Catherine comes from my home. He said, pulling the original complaints from the crowd.
Tension at a funeral escalated Maraga when he added that Nyamato had assured him of his political support.
He explained that the dead politician had played a major role in his decision to be stabbed in the presidency in 2027.
“He told me because he is an advocate for human rights and he knew that was what I was following, he would support me to the end. So I lost a woman who is my sister, I lost my voter, and I lost someone who would stand with me,” He revealed.

He promised to put the legislature before the law, accusing the rule of Kenya first by deviation from constitutional principles.
“I want to tell you one thing, I am standing firm and I will go so far, the way the government is, the ongoing theft, the non -compliance of the law, I will follow up to the end and I will stand for justice,” He told the meeting.
Why was Maraga laughed at Nyamira?
The event is an early sign of the challenges that Maraga faces in strengthening support in his Gusii field.
The area builds itself into a competitive battle before 2027, with former Interior Minister Fred Matiang’i also staring at the presidency.
The jokes showed a massive division between Gusii voters about who should lead the political agenda of the community.
Some analysts suggest that the ongoing allegations from opponents that Maraga is a government -funded candidate would affect the reception he received.
Maraga has been denying the allegations, emphasizing his ambition is motivated by the intention of restoring the law in Kenya.
