The daily reported on President William Ruto’s alleged non-commitment to making up with his deputy Rigathi Gachagua.
Daily Nation reported that a host of ranking religious leaders in the country successfully sought an audience with the president before Gachagua’s impeachment was prosecuted in the National Assembly.
According to the newspaper, Nyeri Catholic Archdiocese archbishop Anthony Muheria and Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit led the efforts toward the two leaders’ reconciliation, but all was in vain.

Ruto cited Gachagua’s conduct as the main reason for their fallout.
The president accused his deputy of allegedly being abrasive against lawmakers opposed to him, and openly opposing government policies.
Also to join in the attempts to reconcile the two was Nyeri governor Mutahi Kahiga.
While confirming that the president met the religious leaders on Sunday, October 13, Kahiga said the Kenya Kwanza MPs he intended to meet to help him broker a truce between Ruto and Gachagua were not committed to it.
“I can confirm that some bishops and even myself made attempts to reconcile the two. I am aware bishops met the president at State House,” Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga is quoted as saying.
Kahiga said that he scheduled a meeting with the lawmakers who failed to show up.
“They kept me waiting at a hotel in Nairobi and never showed up,” the governor said.
