Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga resigned as Vice Chair of Kenya’s Council of Governors on October 22, 2025, after controversial remarks at a funeral suggesting former PM Raila Odinga’s death was divine intervention for regional gain, drawing widespread backlash.
Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga resigned as Vice Chairperson of Kenya’s Council of Governors on October 22, 2025, following widespread condemnation over remarks he made at a funeral, where he appeared to suggest former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s death was divine intervention to shift government resources to the Mt Kenya region.
The comments, delivered in vernacular and shared widely online, were deemed insensitive and politically exploitative during a national mourning period.
The Council of Governors unanimously removed him, stating his remarks were personal, untimely, and contrary to its values.
Kahiga apologized, claiming his words were misinterpreted and not meant to celebrate Odinga’s passing.
The incident sparked national debate over political rhetoric, unity, and the ethics of using national tragedies for political gain.
