Gachagua teases Ruto over holding first lady’s hand during US State visit
By Antynet Ford
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua today cracked up guests attending the National Prayer breakfast after saying that men in Kenya had ‘pressure’ during President William Ruto’s US state visit.
Gachagua said that Kenyan women including the second lady are demanding to be held hands because during the visit Ruto held First Lady Rachel Ruto’s hand everywhere he went.
“Allow me as a truthful man to tell you the truth. All Kenyans were monitoring you. There was something you did that created problems for the men. Our spouses were demanding that we emulate the President and hold their hands wherever they go.” Gachagua teased.

He went on to say that Pastor Dorcas demanded that they hold hands even when in the house and when walking outside.
He joked that it was the same case for Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
Gachagua, however, said that upon return to Kenya, he has since rectified that and no longer holds the First Lady’s hand.
He said the pressure has gone down given that he walked to the National Prayer Breakfast without holding the first lady’s hand.
“To Pastor Dorcas, all is not lost, when we go to the US, I will hold your hand, but when we come back let us continue with our lives.” He said.
The DP further teased that Ruto has been summoned by the ‘Men’s Conference’ to answer for his actions.
