Shock as Speaker Wetang’ula Predicts His Own Death During Kakamega Visit
Kenyans were left in shock on Sunday after National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula made emotional remarks during his visit to Kakamega County, saying he could “go anytime.” The statement, made in the presence of leaders, sparked mixed reactions across the country.
Speaking during a Sunday service in Kakamega, Wetang’ula reflected on life, leadership, and mortality, telling the congregation that death can come to anyone at any moment.
He reminded the gathering to live purposefully and serve people with honesty, adding that he had made peace with God and was ready for whatever comes.
“I have lived my life serving this nation. I can go anytime because life belongs to God, not man,” Wetang’ula reportedly said as the crowd went silent. President Ruto, appeared momentarily surprised by the remark before joining in applause as the Speaker continued with his speech.
I have verified that the remarks were indeed made during Wetang’ula’s visit to Kakamega. Several clips shared online and reports from attendees confirm that the Speaker openly spoke about death, urging leaders to focus on integrity and unity rather than political rivalry.
Wetang’ula, who was attending a church service in Malava, Kakamega County, used his speech to emphasize humility and reflection in leadership.
He said positions of power are temporary and that leaders should not be carried away by pride. “When our time comes, we will all leave this earth the same way. No title will save us,” he added.
The Speaker’s message came shortly after he defended the recently enacted Cybercrime Amendment Law, stressing that the government’s intention is to protect families and children from harmful online content.
His remarks on death, however, drew more attention, with many Kenyans interpreting them as a moment of deep self-reflection rather than a literal prediction.
President Ruto, who also addressed the congregation, praised Wetang’ula for his honesty and wisdom, describing him as a leader who has always stood for peace and fairness. “Speaker Wetang’ula has reminded us all of the importance of humility and service. We thank God for leaders like him,” Ruto said.
Social media was flooded with reactions following the incident, with many users expressing concern over the Speaker’s tone while others commended him for speaking truthfully about life and mortality.
Some churchgoers described the moment as emotional, saying Wetang’ula’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke about his readiness to face death.
Despite the somber tone, Wetang’ula continued with his usual composure, later engaging with residents and church leaders in Malava. His visit to Kakamega was part of a series of public events focusing on faith, unity, and responsible leadership.
While his comments have stirred public debate, many observers say the Speaker’s message was not meant to cause alarm but to remind leaders and citizens alike of the fragile nature of life and the need to live with purpose and humility.
