Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has backed President William Ruto's recent public apology, urging Kenyans to embrace the gesture as a step toward reconciliation.

Speaking on Spice FM, Cherargei expressed disappointment with Kenyans who appeared to downplay the President's apology. "I don't know whether the President needed to kneel.

I believe that, as a human being, the highest you can go is to apologise, and he did that-to Gen Z, Tanzanians, Ugandans, and anyone else he may have wronged," the senator said.

According to the lawmaker, there is a need for national unity and humility, urging Kenyans to accept the President's gesture and move forward. "The courage of a leader to ask for forgiveness-I expected Kenyans to leave it at that," he said.
