Rigathi Gachagua, who many call Riggy G, seemed to be getting ready for a handshake with Gathoni Wamuchomba after their small interaction earlier in the day.
People who came to the funeral noticed this because Riggy G and Gathoni Wamuchomba are both leaders and sometimes politics makes them tense.
The handshake moment was small but many people said it showed respect and politeness even in tense times.
The funeral ceremony was very sad and heavy because everyone came to pray for the late MP and remember the work he did for Ol Kalou. Many people were crying and many were very quiet.
But when Riggy G and Gathoni Wamuchomba had their little interaction, some people smiled and whispered to each other that this was a small but good gesture.
Some said it looked like both leaders wanted to show respect and that even politics can wait for a moment of humanity.
People who were at the funeral said the handshake preparation was careful. Riggy G walked slowly to Gathoni Wamuchomba with a polite smile, and she responded with a calm nod.
The moment was very short but it made people notice that even during political tensions, leaders can behave politely in front of the public.
Some mourners said it was very different from the loud clashes and angry words that happened earlier during the funeral, especially between President William Ruto and Riggy G.
By the end of the funeral, many guests were talking about this small handshake moment. They said it made the heavy day a little lighter. Some said it showed that respect and small gestures matter even in politics.
Others said it reminded them that leaders can act with dignity and control themselves when needed. Even though the day was full of grief for MP Kiaraho, the handshake moment showed that humanity and respect can shine even when politics is tense.
