Wednesday, July 9,
2025 - Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has come under intense criticism
from Kenyans after posting a condolence message to victims of the recent deadly
floods in Texas, United States.
In a statement shared on his X page on Wednesday, July 9th,
Mudavadi expressed sympathy for the families and people affected by the floods,
which have claimed over 105 lives and displaced hundreds.
“I extend my condolences to the families, friends, and the
people of the United States who have been affected by the devastating floods in
Texas,” read part of his post.
“My thoughts and prayers are with all those mourning their
loved ones and those still searching for the missing during this difficult
time.”
However, his message triggered an online uproar, with many
Kenyans accusing him of ignoring tragedies at home - particularly the recent
Saba Saba protests where at least 31 Kenyans reportedly lost their lives.
Netizens condemned Mudavadi’s silence over local issues,
questioning why he had not publicly mourned victims of police brutality during
the nationwide demonstrations.
