Former President Mwai Kibaki and Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka were on Wednesday subjected to a moment of shame after a friend of the late Kenneth Matiba named them for the attacks they had made against the late politician.
The dramatic moment, mirroring a similar one made by Julius Malema at Winnie Mandela's funeral, came from Joe Kibe who was tasked with reading the official eulogy.
After reading the eulogy, Kibe went ahead to make his remarks, making reference to Matiba's arrest in 1990.
He noted that after Matiba was arrested and detained, government-allied politicians had gone ahead to celebrate his detention and to disown him in a special motion introduced by then KANU MP Kalonzo Musyoka.
To the surprise of mourners, Kibe read out the names including Mwai Kibaki, Kalonzo Musyoka, and the late George Saitoti - which elicited a laud of applause from the mouners.
The cameras shifted to Kibaki, who is attending the funeral, as he sat in a seemingly pensive mood.
