Rigathi Gachagua proves that He is not just another Mathira elder, and can’t be assumed in the political space.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has broken his silence after Saturday’s developments in which he was snubbed at an event graced by President William Ruto, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and former president Uhuru Kenyatta
Gachagua who was present at the Episcopal ordination and installation of Rt. Rev. Peter Kimani as Bishop of Embu Diocese was snubbed by the host Governor Cecily Mbarire who gave the dignitaries present a chance to address the gathering, snubbing the former DP.
Nonetheless, the excitement was noticeable as the crowd cheered when Bishop Anthony Muheria acknowledged the presence of Uhuru and Gachagua.
Gachagua arrived early in the company of a host of politicians from the Mount Kenya region and took his seat in the regular section, flanked by his political allies.

Even as he left Embu, the love was in the air with a reasonable crowd cheering him.
Taking to social media on Saturday evening, Gachagua appreciated the warm reception he received despite not getting a chance to address the gathering.
“Thank you so much the people of Embu for the love and warm reception. I love you too,” Gachagua wrote on social media, accompanying his message with a video showing the crowd giving him a thunderous applause.
