In a passionate appeal during a church service at the National Prayer Altar in Nairobi, Gachagua said if he has wronged anyone as deputy president of Kenya, they should find it in their hearts to forgive him.
Gachagua asked Ruto, MPs who have tabled his impeachment in parliament and Kenyans to forgive him for his wrongdoing.
“I want to say to my brother President William Ruto if, in our zeal to work, I have wronged you, please find it in your heart to forgive me. If my spouse, in her duties with the boychild, has wronged you in any way, please find it in your heart to forgive her,” Gachagua pleaded.
Turning to MPs, Gachagua had a similar appeal.
Apparently referencing to his shareholders rhetoric upon resuming office in 2022, Gachagua said all he was doing was appreciating those who voted for him and Ruto into power.
“Probably you find that in appreciating our people and the support they gave the president and I, probably our utterances made you feel uncomfortable, we did not mean bad, we were appreciating the people who voted for us, if you feel that we rubbed you the wrong way, please find it in your heart to forgive me,” he further pleaded.
This comes amid an impeachment motion tabled in Parliament, seeking to remove Gachagua from office over what movers of the motion say is gross misconduct and violation of the constitution
