President William Ruto recently canceled his scheduled attendance at a church event in Embu, where he was expected to participate in the 34th anniversary celebration of the Anglican Church of Kenya’s Embu Diocese. The cancellation came amid increasing political tension, though Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua confirmed he would still attend the event.

This cancellation has sparked speculation, with some suggesting that the decision was influenced by political dynamics, including mounting pressure related to ongoing political issues within the government. However, official reasons for Ruto’s decision have not been detailed, and Deputy President Gachagua remains actively involved in the scheduled proceedings.
