President William Ruto has previously appealed to the Kamba community to pray for Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
In a 2016 event in Makueni County, Ruto humorously remarked that the Kamba people should pray for Kalonzo, who had been involved in anti-IEBC protests, suggesting that he needed guidance.
He said, “I want you to continue with serious prayers, and remember to pray for my brother Kalonzo,” highlighting his perceived missteps.
In a more recent context, during an interdenominational prayer meeting in Machakos Town, President Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua discussed their efforts to include Kalonzo in the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Ruto mentioned that he had offered Kalonzo positions such as Speaker of the National Assembly or Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs, but Kalonzo declined.
Despite this, Ruto emphasized the importance of the Kamba community’s involvement in his government, noting the appointment of three Cabinet Secretaries and three Principal Secretaries from Ukambani.
He also requested the Church to pray for Kalonzo to reconsider his stance and support the administration.
These instances reflect Ruto’s attempts to engage the Kamba community and Kalonzo Musyoka, seeking their support for his administration.
