A funeral in Sensi Ward, Kisii County, devolved into chaos when two Kenyan Members of Parliament, Anthony Kibagendi and Japheth Nyakundi, engaged in a physical altercation on September 12, 2025. The confrontation began after Kibagendi criticized President William Ruto during his speech, leading to Nyakundi forcibly intercepting him.

• The incident occurred at the burial of Salome Ongwae, stepmother of former Kisii governor James Ongwae.
• Kibagendi, MP for Kitutu Chache South, accused President Ruto of lying to Kenyans.
• Nyakundi, MP for Kitutu Chache North and a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party legislator, grabbed the microphone and attempted to remove Kibagendi from the dais.
• This is not the first instance of physical altercations among leaders from the Gusii Region at public events; a similar clash occurred in May 2024 at a church fundraiser in Bomachoge Borabu.
