“Blessed Are They That Mourn” : Kalonzo and Matiang’i Stand With Gachagua After Sister Eunice Death

Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i have paid separate condolence visits to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at his home following the death of his elder sister, Eunice Nyangari.

The high-profile visits on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, saw both leaders arrive with senior party delegations to stand with Gachagua, his wife Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, and the extended family during their period of mourning.

Kalonzo, who was accompanied by Wiper Deputy Party Leader Mohamed Ali alongside MPs Danson Mwashako, Thaddeus Nzambia, Musili Mawathe, and Irene Kasalu, shared a scripture message from Matthew 5:4 to comfort the grieving family. He praised the late Eunice’s 77 years of life as a lasting blessing to everyone who knew her.

“May you find comfort in knowing that her 77 years of life were a blessing to her family and all who knew her. May the Almighty God grant you strength, comfort and peace during this difficult time,” Kalonzo said after signing the condolence book.

Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i also visited the residence accompanied by members of the Jubilee National Executive Committee, emphasizing that moments of loss underscore the value of friendship and shared humanity. He assured the Gachagua family of his continued prayers for strength and peace.

Gachagua announced the passing of his 77-year-old sister on November 6, 2026, describing her as a pillar and mother figure who held the family together after their mother died seven years ago.

The condolence visits took place on the same day Gachagua joined former President Uhuru Kenyatta, Kalonzo, and DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa at PCEA Nairobi West Church for the requiem mass of Beatrice Wambui Muturi, where Uhuru challenged opposition leaders to unite ahead of the 2027 General Election.
