Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, wife of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, left Kenyans in stitches with her playful yet assertive warning to women over their affection for her husband. Speaking on Sunday, November 17, at the PCEA Kerarapon Church in Kajiado County, Pastor Dorcas humorously cautioned women to recognize their boundaries when it comes to her husband’s admiration.
“I know you love my husband, but please continue loving him from a distance. That one, he is mine,” she said with a smile, causing an uproar of laughter from the congregation. Her witty remark was met with mixed reactions online, with some calling it a nostalgic nod to the days of President Mwai Kibaki’s leadership style, while others appreciated the lightheartedness with which she handled the situation.
A Love Story Built to Last
Pastor Dorcas and her husband, Rigathi Gachagua, have been happily married for over 30 years. Their journey together began at university in 1985, and they tied the knot in 1987. The couple, who share two sons, have remained committed to each other through thick and thin. Their long-lasting love serves as an inspiration to many, especially in the face of the public scrutiny that comes with being in the political spotlight.
A Defender of Her Husband
Recently, Pastor Dorcas demonstrated her unwavering support for her husband when she came to his defense after he was discharged from The Karen Hospital. After Gachagua spoke publicly about the challenges he faced, including his strained relationship with President William Ruto and his battles following his impeachment, Pastor Dorcas was by his side, offering emotional support. As the couple left the hospital, she was seen holding onto her husband’s arm, breaking down in tears—a gesture that captured the deep bond they share.
A Fierce Protector
In her recent comments, Pastor Dorcas not only made it clear that her husband is off-limits, but she also expressed her protective instincts in a light-hearted manner. Her candid message to the women who had expressed their admiration for Gachagua resonated with many, highlighting both her humor and her devotion to her family.
Her words have certainly captured the attention of many, leaving behind a trail of laughter and admiration as she firmly laid claim to her beloved husband in the most entertaining way possible.
As Gachagua’s wife, Pastor Dorcas continues to stand by her man, whether shielding him from public controversies or humorously putting others in their place.
