The lighthearted exchange occurred on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, during a requiem mass for Kenyatta’s first cousin, the late Beatrice Wambui Muturi, at PCEA Nairobi West, local media reports indicate.
However, Gachagua confessed that he diverted the funds to settle personal financial obligations, noting that expenses from the initial election cycle had left him strained, reports said.
Taking the podium shortly after Gachagua, Kenyatta responded with humor, insisting that his former ally must repay the money. A video circulating online shows the former head of state telling the congregation that he would travel to Gachagua’s Wamunyoro home with two colleagues to personally collect the debt.
The remarks drew laughter from the church audience and Gachagua himself. Broadcast clips from RFM Radio 99.9 and Sauti TV show a jovial atmosphere throughout the exchange, with Kenyatta repeatedly stating that he would come for his money.
Reports suggest that the late Wambui had contributed the cash out of concern that the Jubilee campaign team was financially exhausted after the court ruling. Neither Kenyatta nor Gachagua has issued an official statement regarding the matter, and available footage confirms the remarks were made in jest during the funeral service.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ACgVDeYDb/
