Its a trying time for Kalonzo Musyoka who is mourning the death of his father that has seen politicians show their support including jubilee supporters like Deputy President William Ruto and Murkomen who went to visit him.
The Wiper leader confirmed that his father, who had been ailing for a while, died while receiving treatment at Nairobi Hospital.
Thank you @WilliamsRuto for condoling with us, this is very comforting, political differences should never divide us as a people. pic.twitter.com/fE8Uj3zSUK

Kenyans who expect nothing from politicians but politics were not interested in the reunion but were quick to offer Kalonzo advise on how not to trust Ruto whose motives for the visit together with his friends were purely seen as a political game.
A section of the though admitted it was a bold move seeing them together in trials congratulating them on demonstrating peaceful politics.
CONDOLENCES YOU,WE ARE HAPPY SEEING YOU TOGETHER.

Some even went to the extent of claiming he deserves presidency because of the act joking that we should try Kambas to see were witchcraft which is associated with the community will take this country.
The next president of Kenya should be Kamba ama Kisii. Tumejaribu wezi for long acha tuone waganga watatupeleka wapi

Critics sarcastically mocked the intention of Jubilee member Murkomen’s visit linking his visit to the desire to drink tea as its a Kenyan hobby.

However as the DP has recently been demonstrating his financial power in Harambees some thought he would also not leave Kalonzo empty handed.
Uyu ndio rafiki yako kikweli I’m very sure atawacha kakitu hapo. Anyway take heart

Deputy President William Ruto eulogised Mr Mairu as an elder who fought for democracy, human rights and freedom of expression.
“Deepest condolences to the family of Kalonzo Musyoka following the passing on of their father, Peter Musyoka Mairu. Mzee Mairu was a gentle, kind soul whose amiable disposition made him many friends. He fought for democracy, human rights and free expression. Rest In Peace,” said the DP.
