Speaking directly to President William Ruto, with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua listening nearby, the young man said: "Dad really loved you. We will be loyal to you!"
The words came during a high-profile service in Nyandarua County on April 8, 2026. Kiaraho, a dedicated leader who served three terms, passed away suddenly, leaving a gap in local politics.
Known for his strong support of President Ruto and development projects in his constituency, he had backed key national agendas, including the push for stability in Mt Kenya region.
The son's tribute highlighted the deep personal bond between his father and the President. "Dad saw you as a true friend and leader," he added, his voice steady yet filled with grief.
He promised the family would continue standing with Ruto, honoring his father's choices.
The message carried extra weight as political eyes watched the gathering. Gachagua's presence added tension, given recent rifts, but the focus stayed on celebrating Kiaraho's life.
Attendees described the speech as powerful and unifying. It showed how personal loyalty can rise above politics during hard times.
Kiaraho's family, friends, and leaders from across divides came together to mourn a man remembered for his hard work, big heart, and service to the people.
This emotional exchange reminds Kenyans that true leadership builds lasting relationships.
As the family and nation prepare for the burial, the son's words offer hope of continued unity and progress in Ol Kalou and beyond. Kiaraho's legacy of loyalty and development lives on through those he inspired.
