However, the gesture drew sharp criticism online. Many Kenyans challenged the leaders' sincerity, pointing out their perceived lack of support for Munyonyi during his struggles with cancer.
"You never helped him when he needed your help most," one user charged, accusing the politicians of using funerals for political gain. "Shame on you politicians... you fly in helicopters to fool the bereaved."
Others echoed similar sentiments, highlighting Munyonyi's past appeals for financial assistance for medical treatment.
"How we wish you were there when all he needed was Ksh100,000," a user commented.
However, some defended the leaders' actions, arguing that Munyonyi's legacy deserved recognition and offering condolences was a natural act of respect.
They emphasized his prominence in Kiambu County and the importance of honouring departed community members.
