“I won’t say a lot today, I’ll talk to you people another time," Raila said. 

Former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju who was the MC at the funeral had given a directive that politics should not be brought to the service.

On Tuesday, a section of Azimio MPs visited President William Ruto at State House claiming to be following up on development agendas without the blessing of Raila. 

The meeting ended up sparking a public debate on the loyalty of the MPs who went to see Ruto. 

Raila claimed that leaders who went to see Ruto are traitors.

He said they should resign from the party and Azimio coalition.

"Members who defected from Azimio need to resign their position and go," he said.

But he says instead the MPs visit the President with the pretense that they want development.
