Rigathi Gachagua, Deputy President, has revealed how he obtained a land tract in Kahawa Sukari, Kiambu County, with revenues from a wedding event in 1989.

He recalled his days at the University of Nairobi with an old colleague who accompanied him for an early morning run during his tour to Botswana, where they met.

Ichangai Muiruri, a land economist who has resided in Botswana for 25 years and "runs the biggest Land Valuation firm" in the country, according to Gachagua.


"I invited him to join me on an early morning run to catch up." "As we manoeuvred through the streets of Gaborone, we traced our treasured memories from the 1980s, as he took me through the real estate and farming opportunities in Botswana that Kenyans can invest in," he tweeted on Sunday.

Muiruri handed DP Gachagua a business chance when he booked his Mobile Disco for his pre-wedding and next evening party, according to DP Gachagua.

The second in command stated that he earned Ksh.1500 each occasion, totalling Ksh.3,000.

"I added another Ksh 2000 to the Ksh 3,000 from Mr. Ichangai to make a Ksh 5000 deposit." "It was a 10% deposit for a quarter-acre plot at Kahawa Sukari in Nairobi, which was then selling for Ksh 50,000," Gachagua explained.


DP Gachagua claimed at the end of his Grass to Grace story, "Today, I receive daily proposals to sell the same plot for Ksh.15 million." Mbali tumetoka! Saana tena mbali.
