DP Gachagua apologizes to President Ruto after arriving late to an event they were both scheduled to attend
DP Gachagua apologizes to President Ruto after arriving late to an event they were both scheduled to attend.
The two leaders were on Sunday scheduled to attend the Akurinu Church event in Nakuru on Sunday morning but the second in command arrived hours late and found the service underway.
In his address, Gachagua hinted that he was scheduled to travel to Nakuru via a helicopter but revealed the humidity and the airspace were not conducive.
He, as a result, departed late thereby arriving at the destination past the stipulated time.
“Mr. President, I apologize to you for coming late. You know I am disciplined. I was a uniformed officer and in Government, I am the most disciplined person,” stated Gachagua.
“I was late because I had issues with my transport arrangement. I left late and got stuck between Longonot and Naivasha for two hours before I arrived here.”
Ruto, Gachagua, and Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika were the guests of honour as the Akurinu sect held its 2024 prayers conference before later launching the Akurinu Sacco.

At the event, Gachagua revealed that the Akurinu community had approached him to send a prayer message to the Head of State which he did promptly.
He explained that the Head of State then directed him to hold meetings with the sect’s leadership which resulted in the Nakuru Conference date held today.
In recent weeks, reports emerged that the deputy president was finding difficulties accessing clearance to use military choppers in his countrywide visits.
On Monday, Standard reported that Gachagua was denied clearance to use a military chopper to attend the 61st Madaraka Day Event in Bungoma due to bad weather.
That was the third time the DP was denied chopper clearance in a span of one month. The first instance occurred on May 10.
