What informed the change of heart is a matter of speculation as it remains unclear whether Wanjiru engaged the President and his deputy to settle issues that only hours earlier had seen her talk tough and warn of dire consequences.

“I have much respect and love for His Excellency Dr William Ruto, our Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and their families. We started this journey towards building a better and a more prosperous Nation together and we shall finish well, together. Hon. Bishop Margaret Wanjiru - J.I.A.M.” she wrote on X.

Her sudden change of heart did not escape the attention of curious netizens with many questioning what had informed the same.

Others held that despite warming up to the President and his deputy, the truth on the land in question should be established and ownership given to the rightful owner with no parties in the matter being shielded by politicians.
