Monday, November 18, 2024 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua sent a message to the people of Embu after a bittersweet event during the installation of Rev. Peter Kimani as Catholic Bishop.
In an unexpected twist of fate, Rigathi Gachagua found himself sharing the stage with President William Ruto, his successor Kithure Kindiki, and former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Gachagua was seated at a
separate tent from other dignitaries, albeit next to other leaders including
his die-hard ally Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchomba.
There were no pleasantries
exchanged between Gachagua and the Head of State - which clearly showed that
there was no love lost between the two parties, one month after the former was
impeached.
Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire,
who was the host of the event, gave all notable leaders a chance to address the
crowd, except Gachagua, who lived up to his vow a few weeks ago where he
claimed people from his region tend to ‘stay quiet and peaceful’ when wronged.
When he rose to speak, Ruto also
completely failed to acknowledge Gachagua’s presence and instead focused on
more pressing issues in his speech.
However, despite the gloom,
Gachagua received a thunderous reception from the hundreds of ordinary Kenyans
in attendance.
Through his social media,
Gachagua acknowledged the Embu crowd as he sent them a message of appreciation.
“Thank you so much the people of
Embu for the love and warm reception. I love you too,” Gachagua declared while
sharing a video of the thunderous applause he received during the event.
