Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, has publicly withdrawn her support for President Ruto’s administration, joining other religious leaders and politicians in criticizing the current leadership. The Bishop’s statement marks a significant shift in the religious community’s stance toward the Kenya Kwanza government.
According to Pastor Dorcas, religious leaders who campaigned for the administration now face public scrutiny for their endorsement. She expressed regret for assuring Kenyans about the progressive nature of the Kenya Kwanza administration, admitting that initial judgments of character can be misleading.
Former Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu has responded to the situation by cautioning religious leaders against misleading the public in their support of President Ruto. His warning highlights growing concerns about the role of religious figures in political endorsements.
The religious leaders’ criticism centers on the apparent disconnect between campaign promises and the administration’s current performance. Their previous endorsement had painted the Kenya Kwanza administration as a progressive force for positive change in the country.
This public denouncement from Pastor Dorcas carries particular weight due to her position as both a religious leader and her connection to the political establishment through her marriage to Mr. Gachagua. Her statement reflects broader disappointment within Kenya’s religious community.
The incident has created tension between religious institutions and the current administration, highlighting the delicate balance between spiritual leadership and political involvement. This development suggests a growing rift between the religious sector that once supported President Ruto and his current government policies.
