‘Most Disciplined Person In Your Gov’t’: Gachagua Apologises To Ruto For Lateness

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua publicly apologized to President William Ruto for arriving late to an Akorino prayer service in Nakuru County on Sunday. The event took place at Nakuru Boys’ High School, where Gachagua began his speech by explaining his tardiness, citing transport challenges, bad weather, and traffic jams as the causes.

He emphasized his commitment to discipline, labeling himself as the most disciplined official in President Ruto’s administration.

“You know I am very disciplined; I am a former uniformed services member and in your government, I am the most disciplined,” said the deputy president.

“I had challenges with my transport arrangements and then came the weather. I left late and got stuck in traffic between Naivasha and Longonot for over two hours.”
He then thanked President Ruto for attending the Akorino service after local leaders sent him an invite through DP Gachagua.

“I am the happiest person today,” the DP told Ruto.

In government circles, President Ruto is renowned for his punctuality and has frequently required senior officials to provide written explanations for their lateness to his meetings. Last August, Ruto barred Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki and then Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria from a performance contract signing event at State House, Nairobi, due to their tardiness and demanded written explanations.

Despite facing criticism for micromanagement and creating a climate of fear, Ruto defends his approach, asserting that his high standards are intended to ensure the success of those under his leadership.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s apology on Sunday came amid speculation of a rift and tension within their United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, suggesting strained relations between him and Ruto. However, Gachagua insists that he remains focused on supporting President Ruto in his duties and is not distracted by what he calls divisive politics.

“When President Ruto wanted someone to stand with him, I was there. We campaigned for him. He is a product of our effort; our work is to support him deliver,” Gachagua told a fundraiser at Sigowet-Soin in Kericho County on Saturday.
