Nakuru Veteran politician Koigi wa Wamwere has called on leaders to desist from politics during funerals.
The former Subukia legislator said leaders should not be invited to funerals to play politics.
"We should keep politics out of funerals. I totally agree leaders should shun politics at funerals. Equally people should stop inviting leaders to funerals to campaign for votes," he said.
"Funerals are solemn occasions where the living should mourn the dead and console the bereaved. Politics should have its own venues," he added.
Over the weekend, the President and the opposition chief Raila Odinga were embroiled in a public war of words during former Minister's Ntimama's burial in Narok.(photo/Hivisasa.com caption/Koigi says that politicians should shun from playing politics during funerals)
