The sposes to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, has vowed support for his campaign against misuse of drugs and alcohol in the Mt. Kenya region.
Speaking in Kabiruini, Dorcas revealed that some “cartels” had retaliated after using the proceeds from the sale of illegal alcohol to assassinate young men in the area.
“I know the work we are doing, the drug barons and those who sell alcohol are fighting back, but you will not succeed against us, because the work we are doing is the work of God and it will be done,” she said.
“We are going to save the boychild and save our country and that is why we are here. We are going to fight what must be fought.”
Pastor Dorcas affirmed that she and DP Gachagua will not give up on their mission to save the boychild.

Further, she said that will support the Deputy President in prayers to resolve the challenge of drug abuse.
“He is a good leader, and he is going to lead, because we are on our knees. They said he will not get there; he is there by the grace of God. And by the power of God, he will remain there and we are going to pray for him. That is a message coming from his wife,” she said.
This comes after the Deputy President vowed to sack 100 chiefs by December 31 over what he termed as laxity in combating the sale of illicit brews.
“I don’t want to sack chiefs but I want before Christmas in the whole country to sack about 100 chiefs so that they can be an example to others who are not working,” Gachagua said.
Gachagua has led the campaign against illicit brew in Kenya, particularly in the Mt. Kenya region and the Rift Valley.
Gachagua had earlier given the police, the chiefs, and their deputies orders to take down drug lords within their spheres of influence or risk being fired.
