Gachagua addressed the congregation, stating that he was sorry if he had offended Ruto in any way. He emphasized that he had never intended to disappoint the president or anyone else. Gachagua's comments indicate that he is aware of the growing concerns surrounding his position in the government.
In his appeal for forgiveness, Gachagua extended his request to his wife, Dorcas Rigathi, as well. He mentioned her recent involvement in programs advocating for boys' rights in the country. Gachagua asked Ruto to forgive her if her actions had upset the president. This inclusion suggests that Gachagua is keenly aware of how their public roles can impact each other’s reputations.
Gachagua's plea comes amid claims that some Members of Parliament are considering an impeachment motion against him. In light of this, he also addressed the MPs directly, asking for their forgiveness if he had wronged them through his actions or statements. He said, "To the MPs, if through our utterances and actions, we have upset or wronged you, find it in your heart to forgive me." His call for unity is an attempt to mitigate the growing divide between him and some legislators.
The current political atmosphere in Kenya has been charged, with Gachagua's impeachment being a topic of discussion among the public. Many citizens feel that if Gachagua were to be removed from office, it would not be fair for him to go alone. There is a sentiment among the people that both he and Ruto should be held accountable, as they were elected together.
This notion was captured in a viral phrase circulating on social media: "kufa gari, kufa dereva," which translates to "if the vehicle fails, both the driver and the conductor must face the consequences." This expression reflects the frustrations of many Kenyans who feel that the leadership has not steered the country in the right direction.
As public sentiment grows against the duo, many citizens have participated in discussions about their future in office. The demand for Ruto and Gachagua to vacate their positions together highlights the rising dissatisfaction among the electorate regarding their leadership.
Despite these challenges, Gachagua has maintained a hopeful outlook, stating that he is committed to serving the people of Kenya. He insists that his focus has always been on fulfilling his responsibilities and working towards the betterment of the country. His calls for forgiveness can be seen as an attempt to rebuild trust and unity, both within the government and with the public.
It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but Gachagua's public plea for forgiveness may be an attempt to smooth over tensions and prevent further political fallout.
