Besieged Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and his family are
this Sunday attending a special church service at the National Prayer Altar
located at his official Residence, Karen.
The altar was built by President William Ruto in 2019 while
serving as the country’s second in command at a time when he was facing a
political onslaught from his then boss Uhuru Kenyatta.
Ruto used the altar to hold prayers and often retreated to there
for special prayers with his family and allies at the height of his fallout
with Uhuru.
Ironically, Gachagua, who is facing a defining moment after falling out with Ruto, has retreated to the same
altar to seek spiritual intercession.
The DP was on Sunday joined by his spouse Dorcus Rigathi,
their children and a host of his allies including Embakasi North MP James
Gakuya.
The special prayers come ahead of Tuesday's debate in the
National Assembly on an impeachment motion against him filed by Mwingi West MP
Mwingi Mutuse.
The National Assembly will debate and decide on the motion
which must garner two-thirds for it to proceed to the Senate for trial.
This is the first time that Gachagua is making a public
appearance since last Monday.
