Gachagua Speaks After Being Snubbed At Embu Event
While Uhuru Kenyatta, Ruto, and Kindiki were handed the opportunity to address the congregants, the former Deputy President only received recognition but was never allowed to speak.
Despite arriving early at the ceremony, Gachagua chose to sit in the regular section, avoiding a separate tent that had been meant for the Very Important Persons (VIPs) such as the Head of State and other senior government officials.

During the speeches, the former deputy president stayed quiet and only stared as the senior government officials made their remarks.
Moments after the event, Gachagua, together with his Mt Kenya political allies including Githunguri Member of Parliament Gathoni Wamuchoba walked away despite calls by a section of the congregation for him to deliver a speech.
Gachagua has since taken to his X account to express gratitude to the people of Embu, who showed him immense love.
He Wrote,”I was delighted to join the Catholic faithful in the Diocese of Embu for the Episcopal Ordination & Installation of Rt. Rev. Peter Kimani as the Bishop of the Embu Diocese.
Congratulations, I wish you the very best today & always as you Shepherd in the vineyard of the Lord.
He said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Thank you so much the people of Embu for the love and warm reception. I love you too.
