The former Cabinet Secretary described Gachagua as his brother and colleague, highlighting the importance of standing together during difficult moments, regardless of political differences.

Matiang’i said the visit was meant to demonstrate solidarity with Gachagua and his family as they come to terms with the painful loss of their beloved family member.

He further observed that moments of grief remind people of the importance of friendship, family ties and shared humanity, noting that such difficult experiences call for compassion and support from those around the affected families.

The former Interior CS also assured the Gachagua family that they remained in their thoughts and prayers, wishing them strength and comfort as they mourn Eunice.

“May Almighty God grant them strength, comfort and peace, and may Eunice’s soul rest in eternal peace,” Matiang’i said in his condolence message.

The visit is also significant politically, bringing together prominent figures associated with the opposition at a time when political leaders continue positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

However, Matiang’i’s message was primarily centred on expressing sympathy and standing with Gachagua’s family during their difficult moment.

The death of Eunice has attracted messages of condolences from leaders and Kenyans, with many joining the Gachagua family in mourning their departed relative.
