President William Ruto has decided to skip a highly anticipated church service in Embu county, while his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, has announced he will attend.
This last-minute change has set political tongues wagging and raised questions about the current state of Kenya’s top leadership.
The Sudden Change of Plans
President Ruto was initially expected to lead the 34th diocesan anniversary celebrations at St Mark’s Teachers Training College, Kigari.
However, Kenyans have been surprised after sources close to the presidency confirm that the Head of State pulled out at the eleventh hour.
The reasons for this abrupt cancellation remain unclear, fueling speculation among political observers.
Gachagua Steps Into the Spotlight
On the other hand, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua announced his intention to attend the same church service shortly after news of Ruto’s cancellation broke.
This will mark Gachagua’s first public religious event appearance since the recent contentious impeachment vote in the National Assembly.
Public Views: “Kenyans Have Sensed Tensions in the Air”

The sudden announcement has not gone unnoticed, with one MP cryptically remarking, “The ground is hostile, take cover 😅.” This comment hints at underlying political tensions and possible rifts within the ruling party.
Relationship Shutting down between President Ruto and DP Gachagua
This incident follows a series of events that have put strain on the relationship between President Ruto and DP Gachagua:
- The impeachment process against Gachagua, on which Ruto has remained notably silent.
- Rumors of church-led reconciliation efforts between the two leaders.
- Gachagua’s recent criticism of Mt Kenya MPs, whom he labeled as “traitors and sell-outs.”
