Embattled Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has called upon his boss President William Ruto to forgive him is he has wronged him in any way.

Speaking during a special church service at the National Prayer Altar in his official residence, DP Gachagua, who is facing an impeachment motion, acknowledged that may be in the court of executing his duties, he might have rubbed his boss and other state officials in the wrong way.

“I want to say to my brother William Ruto, if in our zeal to work, I have wronged you, please find it in your heart to forgive me,” Gachagua said amid claps from the congregation that included his close political allies. “I want to say, if my spouse, in her duties for the boychild and her programme, has wronged you in anyway, find it in your heart to forgive her.”

The second in command also extended his apology to Members of Parliament he might have pissed off with his actions or utterances.

“To our Members of Parliament, if in the course of duty through our utterances and actions, we have one way or another upset you or wronged you, find it in your heart to forgive me.”

DP Gachagua banked on the Almighty God to see him through this difficult times, likening his tribulations to those of his boss when he was serving as Uhuru Kenyatta’s deputy president.

“These are things we have seen before. And during those very difficult moments that we had with William Ruto, everything was against him. The state machinery, deep state. I am very persuaded that God the Almighty that saw through President Ruto in very difficult circumstances has gone nowhere, that God is still on the throne. He’s still present, he’s on the throne, he is merciful and his mighty is not in question.”

He made a rallying call to Kenyans across the country to remain calm and peaceful despite what is happening in the political scene, irrespective of the eventual outcomes.

“I want to appeal to our brothers and sisters in Rift Valley, where many communities are living. Our people must stay together, they must continue loving each other, they must continue marrying each other and getting children, they must continue doing business together, seek for peace and peaceful coexistence. The politics of the day should not in any way threaten our peace and peaceful coexistence. Kenya is bigger than anyone, we haver no other country.”

Gachagua’s appeal comes days before the Tuesday, October 8 debate on his impeachment motion at the National Assembly.
