The growing rift between Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana played out at a burial ceremony at the weekend.

The rivalry nearly marred the burial of former nominated councilor Agnes Musili's son in Kinyambu, Thange ward in Kibwezi East constituency on Saturday when current and former ward representatives accused Prof Kibwana of leading a rebellion against the former vice president.
