Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was on Sunday, June 9, forced to apologise to President William Ruto, after he arrived late, at the Akorino National Prayer Conference in Nakuru Country.
Mr Gachagua arrived for the event at the Nakuru Boys High School, aboard a private chopper, nearly one hour after President Ruto and his entourage touched down.
The Deputy President, who found the event already underway, had to apologise to President Ruto, when he was invited to give his speech.
“Mr President, first of all, I want to ask for forgiveness, for coming late. I am not an indisciplined person. You know very well, I was a uniformed officer and in your government, I am the most disciplined person,” said Mr Gachagua.
“I had challenges with my transport arrangements and I also encountered weather issues between Naivasha and Longonot for about an hour,” Gachagua explained.
President Ruto had earlier arrived at the event, using the Airforce One and was welcomed by a host of local politicians led by Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika and Water Cabinet Secretary Zachary Njeru.
