We love and pray for him- Gachagua Regrets Uhuru Leaving Burial Before His Arrival.

We love and pray for him- Gachagua Regrets Uhuru Leaving Burial Before His Arrival: Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has continued to extend a warm hand towards retired president Uhuru Kenyatta in his efforts to reunite the divided Mt Kenya region.

Speaking during former Inspector Boss King’ori Mwangi’s burial, Gachagua advocated for diplomacy and dialogue and was open to resolving their indifference which emanated from the heated 2022 General Election. 

Former President Uhuru, who also attended the funeral, left nearly an hour before Gachagua arrived, raising questions on whether he was tactically avoiding meeting his former personal assistant turned foe.

Gachagua stated,” I was looking forward to meeting my friend and former boss President Uhuru Kenyatta. I wanted to come and greet him because I had not seen him for a while and tell him it was well. He is our son, we had some little disagreements but it’s over.”

He served as our fourth President. We had differences with him, but those differences are now in the past. He has retired, returned home, and kept a low profile, and we respect his decision,” Gachagua added.

On the same note, Deputy President cautioned his allies against disrespecting and tainting Uhuru’s name, requesting that he be accorded the respect he deserves.

He stated,” If  I had met him I would have told him how much we appreciate his work in retirement. We love and pray for him, he is our brother.”

On his part, Uhuru  explained that he was in a rush to attend the memorial service of the late Lucy Wanjiru, wife to former Kipipiri Member of Parliament Hon. Amos Muhinga Kimunya.

Kimunya who served as National Assembly Majority Leader under Uhuru, lost his wife in late January while undergoing medical treatment. 

Uhuru stated, “I must leave early because I must attend another burial I can’t miss. We have to go stand with them like we have stood with the family of King’ori Mwangi.”
