Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, alongside his wife Pastor Dorcas, joined mourners and residents of Embu County on Thursday to bid farewell to Eric Mutugi Kivuti, the late son of former Senator Lenny Kivuti.
The funeral service was held in Kanyuambora, Mbeere North Sub-county, where mourners gathered to celebrate the life of Eric, who passed away after a short illness.
Gachagua expressed his condolences to the bereaved family and the people of Embu.
"My spouse Pastor Dorcas, and I join friends, mourners, and the people of Kenya to bid farewell to Eric Mutugi Kivuti, son to former Senator Lenny Kivuti," Gachagua said.
"My thoughts and prayers with the family and the people of Embu. Fare Thee well Eric," he added.
In December 2024, the former Senator disclosed that his son passed away at MP Shah Hospital after a short illness.
"I am very sad. Very sad! I lost my beloved son, Eric Mutugi, at MP Shah Hospital yesterday after a short illness. We canceled our family Christmas festivities. Please join my family in funeral plans for my beloved son. God bless his soul in heaven," Kivuti said on Facebook.
