Kenya's former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua was absent from late prime minister Raila Odinga's memorial and burial services held between October 15 to 19, 2025, in Bondo, Kenya. Social media users circulated a video claiming Gachagua visited the Odinga family home during this period; however, the video is old and shows people speaking Kikuyu, not Luo, suggesting it was filmed elsewhere. No credible reports or posts from Gachagua himself confirm his visit to Bondo. Gachagua served as deputy president from 2022 until his impeachment in October 2024 due to political differences with President William Ruto.
