Dorcas Gachagua, wife of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, has revealed the one particular thing she does for him after 35 years of marriage.
Dorcas thinks it is crucial to make time and do things for your partner, despite being busy, in an interview with a trusted source.
“For the last 35 years I have been married I am the one who irons for my husband. The public does not care whether I am a pastor they want to see me taking care of my man.”
While narrating her story, the wife of the second in command revealed that her journey had not been easy. She disclosed that she had to do odd jobs so that she can help he mother who by then had 8 kids.
“I sometimes do not want to talk about it, I never thought we would make it. My mum was left with 8 kids and she suffered a lot. We had to do odd jobs to help support my mum.” She said.
Since each day was becoming a burden to Gachagua’s wife, she decided to end her life. Her idea was a simple one. She thought of approaching Late President Moi so that she could be shot by the security.
By then, Gachagua was the student leader at Nairobi university.
“He (Gachagua) was a student leader at Nairobi University, He would sometimes go to see the late Moi. One of my girlfriends told me to go and just interact with the people, When I saw him (Gachagua) I thought he was interesting.” She added.
While attending the ceremony that Moi was the guest, she thought it would be her last day breathing as she had lost all hopes in life.
“My friends had told me to come for the trip because I felt life was not worth living, that was going to be my last trip. I wanted to run towards where the President was sitting, I wanted to make it look like I wanted to do something to him so that I end up getting shot.”
During the ceremony, she managed to ran toward Moi and she was surprised when Moi asked her what was her motives.
“I ran towards the President and he asked me what was wrong. He came toward me and I told him what my intentions were.
Since her conversation with Moi, Dorcas’s life changed for the better.
When he spoke to me, I had a bright destiny. He told me about his story and by the time we finished talking I was able to see life in a different way.”
