Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has stated he refused President William Ruto's request to attend the funeral of his late wife. The senator revealed this during a recent statement, explaining that he personally asked the president not to attend the ceremony. The decision came after a political incident in Murhanda involving a sum of KSh 5 million.
Khalwale cited the incident as a reason for his request, though details remain unclear. The senator emphasized that the refusal was a personal choice, not a political maneuver. Ruto had reportedly wished to attend the funeral, but Khalwale declined the invitation.
The situation highlights the complex dynamics between senior political figures in Kenya. While no official explanation has been given, the incident has sparked discussions about political relationships and personal boundaries.
The funeral, which took place in Kakamega, was attended by several local leaders. No further details have been released regarding the nature of the political incident in Murhanda.
