The incident took place during the joint funeral of Elder Samson Gichau and Mama Julia Waimu Gichau in Mwigito, Njoro’s small division.
The couple, remembered as faithful Christians, had been married for 66 years and were buried lying side -by -side, drawing mourners from different parts of society and political spheres.
Why was the Gen Z boy abducted in the microphone in the county of Nakuru?
Among the mourners was Nakuru Governor, Susan Kihika, whose presence brought political weight to the event as well as an event.
However, what drew the emotions of many in the short term was a strong speech from a young leader, which sparked different sarcasm as well as supportive applause.
“My name is John Kamau. began the young politician confidently.
Kamau, who had the intention of representing the feelings of the disappointed young men, was not afraid to speak clearly.
He urged residents to pray for the country’s direction, claiming that President William Ruto was leading the country on a vague path.
“With respect, let us continue to pray for our country because the driver of this country has already taken it to the forest,” He said.
Mc took an immediate action to snatch the microphone, but the boy tried to fight and asked for a minute to end his speech.
He concluded by saying, “Only one period,” a statement that has been linked to the former Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua.
“One minute … one minute … Wantam,” He said while handing Mc the microphone.
How did the governor Kihika respond to the action of the Gen Z politician?
The tension of the speech surprised the mourners, and a few voices were heard in support of or opposed the move.
MC again took control of the forum, expressing his regret by giving the boy a chance to speak at the event.
“Kamau, you are my friend, but sometimes I won’t give you a chance. We respect our elders and wait for the right time for politics,” Said MC after returning the microphone.
Governor Kihika, though present, did not make a public statement about the incident, but called for unity among Nakuru residents.

He condemned what he referred to as an increase in the incitement and politics of ethnicity in the country.
Did Kihika fired his assistant?
In a separate event during the Power Day celebrations in Nakuru, Kihika slipped in his speech, saying “Munnyoro” instead of “chains” Vocational Training Center.
The crowd exploded with laughter and surprise, due to the name associated with the former deputy president.
Recognizing the political impact of the confusion, he quickly corrected himself and emphasized his loyalty to Ruto and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
In front of the audience, he insisted, “The author of my speech has been fired,” then added, “I am on the side of Ruto every day.”
