On Wednesday, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Second Lady Pastor Dorcas Rigathi led the burial of her late elder sister Leah Wangari Muriuki at Mirera in Nanyuki.
The DP had previously mourned her sister as their mother and family matriarch, who had taken good care of the larger Gachagua family following the deaths of their father and two mothers.
He also expressed his heartfelt condolences to Wangari’s husband, children, and grandchildren, saying it had been a difficult week for him.
Today, we have laid to rest our eldest Sister Leah Wangari Muriuki, a great woman of remarkable record in the community and society.

Gachagua also urged Kenyan youth to agree to a meeting with President William Ruto, whom he claims has demonstrated goodwill by seeking an audience.
“As our children, you owe this country peace. Please, consider now that you’ve been heard, don’t allow these criminals an opportunity to take advantage of what you had started in good faith with a message to the country,” he said.
