Cynthia Moraa has come under sharp criticism online after her acting in a seductive manner during a funeral in Kisii. The UDA-linked aspirant for the county woman representative seat is now facing accusations of mixing politics with inappropriate behaviour at a solemn occasion.
She was addressing the mourners while holding a bottle to her private parts. She was scratching her small egg with the bottle while holding the microphone. Locals claim that behaviour was unwarranted.
The video, which has spread widely on social media, appears to show Moraa moving in a way some locals described as seductive while interacting with people at the burial. Residents claim she was trying to attract voters and turned the funeral into a campaign ground.
In Kisii, where funerals are treated with great respect and seen as important community gatherings, many people found her actions out of place and disrespectful to the grieving family.
Social media users did not hold back. Comments ranged from disappointment to strong condemnation, with some calling her behaviour unacceptable for someone seeking public office.
Others defended her, saying the video might have been taken out of context. Moraa is eyeing the woman representative position under the UDA banner. She has been active in community matters and building her profile ahead of the next elections.
Supporters see her as energetic and close to the ground. However, this latest incident has raised questions about judgement and the boundaries leaders should observe, especially in sensitive cultural settings like burials.
In Kisii County, politics runs deep, and emotions can rise quickly during campaign periods. Funerals often attract large crowds, making them attractive for politicians to connect with voters.
Some women who support Moraa argue that female politicians face extra scrutiny. They say male candidates sometimes behave boldly at public events without similar backlash.
