In a recent event in Kilifi, President William Ruto extended an olive branch to his Deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, signaling a reconciliation after a period of political tension.
The phrase “Kuja tufanye kazi” (“Come, let’s work”) encapsulates Ruto’s call for unity and collaboration within the government.
This gesture comes in the wake of Gachagua’s public apology, where he sought forgiveness from both the President and other leaders for any offenses he may have caused.
The relationship between Ruto and Gachagua had been strained, culminating in an impeachment motion against the Deputy President.
Gachagua’s appeal for forgiveness was seen as an attempt to mend fences and restore trust.
He expressed remorse, stating, “I want to ask my brother William Ruto to forgive me if my actions have caused any offense.”
President Ruto’s response in Kilifi indicates a willingness to move past previous disagreements and focus on governance.
By urging Gachagua to join him in working for the nation’s progress, Ruto emphasizes the importance of unity in leadership.
This development suggests a renewed commitment to collaboration, aiming to strengthen the administration’s effectiveness in addressing Kenya’s challenges.
