Like Lucy Kibaki: Pastor Dorcas Marks Her Territory as Rigathi Gachagua’s Only Spouse
Pastor Dorcas Gachagua, wife of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, left Kenyans in stitches with a humorous yet assertive declaration during a church service in Kajiado County.
Speaking at PCEA Kerarapon Church on Sunday, November 17, Pastor Dorcas humorously addressed women who confessed their admiration for her husband, cautioning them to respect the boundaries of their affection.
“To all women, I know you have said that you love my husband. Naomba tu muendelee kumpenda lakini hiyo ingine ni yangu (I just ask that you continue to love him, but that other part is mine),” she quipped, drawing laughter and applause from the congregation.
The couple, married since 1987, have enjoyed over three decades of marital bliss and have two sons. Their love story began at university in 1985, blossoming into a partnership that Dorcas has fiercely defended. Her light-hearted remarks reminded Kenyans of former First Lady Lucy Kibaki’s unapologetic defense of her husband, the late President Mwai Kibaki, during his tenure.
The statement has since sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many lauding Pastor Dorcas for her sense of humor and confidence. One commenter, Josephmaina_, remarked, “Giving Kibaki era,” while another, Aggy Mamake Nigel, joked, “Kenyan women want to enjoy what Dorcas has been enjoying for those years.”
Pastor Dorcas, fondly known as the “boychild defender” for her advocacy for young men, has gained admiration for her unwavering support of her husband and her unique ability to connect with ordinary Kenyans. Her remarks come at a time when her public appearances often highlight not just her role as a supportive spouse but also her passion for community service and faith-driven initiatives.
While her statement was made in jest, it resonated with many as a lighthearted reminder of the strength and exclusivity of her marital bond, further endearing her to Kenyans who view her as a relatable and authentic figure.
