President William Ruto canceled his visit to Embu County so that he can attend the 30th anniversary celebration at AIC Milimani Church.
According to the President, he opted to attend the celebration since that’s where he calls home.
President William Ruto has finally broken silence on the reason why he decided to cancel his visit to Embu County.
Speaking at the AIC Milimani Church in Nairobi, Ruto noted that he opted to attend the church’s 30th anniversary celebration instead, citing a long-standing connection with the congregation.
The president was originally scheduled to lead the 34th diocesan anniversary at St Mark’s Teachers Training College, Kigari, but canceled just hours before the event.
His absence was notable as it came on the same day his DP was making his first public appearance since the contentious impeachment vote in Parliament.
According to Ruto, his commitment to the AIC Milimani celebration was personal, describing the church as his home further emphasising his history with the congregation, recalling how it grew from 10 families to 3,000 members over the years.
“I missed the 25-year celebration. I was not going to miss the 30-year one.”
Ruto however did not address the rift within the Mt Kenya region or the impeachment debate, something which has triggered political fallout across the country.
His silence on the matter contrasts with his usual hands-on approach, leaving many to wonder if the cancellation was a strategic move to avoid escalating the situation.
