A dramatic moment was witnessed in Nyandarua County during the requiem mass of the late Ol Kalou Member of Parliament, David Kiaraho, after Nyandarua Senator John Methu had his microphone briefly switched off while speaking.
The event, held on Wednesday, April 8, brought together several top leaders, including President William Ruto.
What was meant to be a solemn occasion quickly turned tense when Methu took to the podium to deliver his speech.
While addressing the crowd, Methu began by reflecting on the late Kiaraho’s political decisions.

Speaking boldly, the senator declared that he was not afraid of the head of state. His remarks immediately caught the attention of both the audience and officials present.
In a mix of Kiswahili and local expression, Methu insisted that he remained unchanged and would continue speaking his mind.
