“I Know Where to Find You?” Uhuru’s Unexpected Message to Gachagua

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has amused mourners after making a humorous remark directed at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during a memorial service in Nairobi.

Uhuru jokingly said he would visit Gachagua’s Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri County to collect money that the former Deputy President had received to support his 2017 re-election campaign.

The exchange attracted attention because of the political history shared by the two leaders.

During the memorial service of Beatrice Wambui Muturi, Uhuru’s cousin, at PCEA Nairobi West Church.

While addressing mourners, Gachagua recalled how the deceased had given him KSh1.5 million after the Supreme Court nullified the 2017 presidential election.

He explained that the money was intended to support Uhuru’s campaign during the repeat election but admitted that he had used it to settle other expenses.

When Uhuru took to the podium, he responded to Gachagua’s account with humour, telling him that he had not forgotten about the money.

He jokingly suggested that he would travel to Wamunyoro with his friends to recover the amount.

His remarks sparked laughter among mourners, turning the political exchange into one of the memorable moments of the gathering.

Beyond the humorous exchange, Uhuru also addressed the political situation in the country, urging opposition leaders to put their differences aside and work together ahead of the 2027 General Election.

He challenged Gachagua and other opposition figures, including Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, to find common ground instead of allowing personal ambitions to stand in the way of political unity.

The interaction has attracted attention because Uhuru and Gachagua previously belonged to opposing political camps following the 2022 General Election.

Their friendly exchange at the memorial service has therefore raised fresh interest in their relationship and the possibility of greater cooperation among opposition leaders.

With the next election approaching, their public interactions are likely to remain a subject of political discussion.
