The main reason as to why Edwin Sifuna sent this message to the deputy president Rigathi Gachagua has not yet been identified however more detailed information on this report will be out soon.
Kenyans are now waiting for Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to respond to this message and send his feedback to Edwin Sifuna.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua recently delivered a message on the topic of alcohol abuse during his inaugural public lecture on Youth, Leadership, and Development at Murang'a University of Technology in Murang'a County.

“I used to drink a lot myself, a crate... a crate and a half. There's a bar called Citrus next to Jamuhuri High School. There would be a one-man guitar crooner…” he said.
He mentioned that a significant number of his drinking companions have passed away, while those who remain are in poor condition and rely on him for support and sustenance.
“Many of my drinking buddies are dead, others are zombies, and others are ruined. They look for me to give them something to eat today,” he said.
The DP stated that he has led a good life since he decided to quit alcohol.
“Since I made the decision to quit drinking, my path has been rosy and you can see where I stand today,” said Gachagua as he pleaded with the youth to refrain from alcohol.
“Please our young people I cry for you. President William Ruto cries for you. I have to talk to you, to ask you with tremendous respect and humility that your future is bright. Please don't ruin it.," the DP pleaded.
This revelation comes days after Gachagua opened up about his family's experience of losing his brother to alcoholism.
