President Ruto, Uhuru Kenyatta, and Rigathi Gachagua Attend Historic Church Ceremony in Embu
In a historic first, President William Ruto, former President Uhuru Kenyatta, and impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua were seen together at the same public event, attending the Consecration and Installation of Bishop Peter Kimani Ndung’u at the Christ the King Cathedral in Embu County.
The high-profile event, which was a significant moment for the Anglican Church of Kenya, brought together key political figures from across the spectrum, sending a powerful message of unity despite the political differences that have often divided them in recent years.
The occasion marked the elevation of Bishop Peter Kimani Ndung’u to his new role, as he took over the pastoral leadership of the Embu Diocese. The ceremony, which included prayers, hymns, and blessings, was attended by a large congregation of faithful from across the region, along with political and religious leaders.
President Ruto, who was present to officiate the event, expressed his admiration for Bishop Kimani Ndung’u’s commitment to the spiritual growth and welfare of the church community. In his address, the President emphasized the importance of unity, peace, and service to others, values that he said should guide the nation’s leaders and citizens alike.
“It is a great honor to witness this moment of spiritual elevation for Bishop Peter Kimani Ndung’u. As leaders, we must always remember that our true calling is to serve the people and uplift their lives,” said President Ruto. “Let this ceremony remind us of the power of faith, the role of the church in our communities, and the need to work together for the greater good of Kenya.”
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta, who has maintained a relatively low public profile since the end of his tenure, was also in attendance and joined in the prayers and blessings for the new bishop. His presence at the event marked a rare public appearance alongside his successor, President Ruto, and underscored the importance of the church in the nation’s leadership
