Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has come under heavy criticism following controversial remarks perceived as mocking and politicising the death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Speaking at a burial yesterday, Kahiga suggested that Odinga’s death was God’s plan to help the Mt Kenya region regain access to State resources that had allegedly been redirected elsewhere.
