Rigathi Gachagua: I have this morning woken up to the sad demise of Mr. Zachariah Kariuki alias Mr. KK Mwenyewe, a content creator per excellence and inspiration to many.

Mr. KK, a young, consistent, and resilient young man, used comedy to communicate simple and creative messages to all Kenyans and spoke to our hearts.

I send my deepest sympathies to his family and his friends at this difficult moment.

I especially I condole the creative industry on the loss of a champion whose creative eye lives with us for days to come.

May his soul rest in eternal peace, and God grant his family peace.

Okiyah Omtatah: Busia County is home to two of East Africa’s busiest border points; Malaba & Busia.

Miguna Miguna: Rigathi Gachagua is William Ruto basically because he supported Daniel Arap Moi's one party state in 1987 when many of us were campaigning against it. He supported that through his life and continues to support it. That is why he is with Matiang'i.
