Ruto's appointment of Uhuru to peacekeeping mission shocked us, says Gachagua

Gachagua praised Ruto for having a forgiving and non-vengeful heart, by not punishing those he alleged frustrated the president during the past regime.

"President Ruto has led this country in forgiveness and reconciliation. Most of us who work around him had great difficulties with that approach, but along the way he persuaded us and we are now aligned that reconciliation is the way to go for the betterment of this country."

This year's Prayer Breakfast is themed 'Reconciliation with God and with Man'.

Further, Gachagua also called on the opposition to accept and come to terms with the fact that Ruto is the Head of State.

"We persuade all leaders to reconcile with the truth and reality. The reality being that William Ruto is the fifth President of Kenya. The new administration is one that is persuaded that we need to reconcile the country," Gachagua noted.

The number two in pecking order also lauded Nairobi Woman representative Esther Passaris for throwing weight behind the controversial housing levy that has been touted by the government against her coalition's stand.
