Pastor Dorcas Breaks Silence On Ichung’wah’s Wild Claims
Pastor Dorcas Rigathi appears to have responded to Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah’s recent accusation that she controls her husband, Rigathi Gachagua, during public appearances.
During a meeting with a group of clerics in the United States, the former Second Lady dismissed the idea.
Pastor Dorcas claimed that it was practically impossible to undercut a man like Gachagua, who had sparked a political uproar throughout the country.
She went on to explain that the former Deputy President always allowed her to speak first during public events because the two were a unit.
She argued that there was nothing wrong with them relocating together, which is why they frequently upheld family values wherever they traveled.
“That is why sometimes when he allows me to speak first is not because I heard I ‘sit on him’. How can you sit on a man like this, who is causing the whole nation not to sleep?” she quipped.
“A man whom the President, the Deputy President, and MPs hardly stop talking about. I keep hearing them say Wamunyoro. Is that the kind of man you think your claims could apply to? You are such liars,” she stated.
"Actually I support him 'Riggy G' when he speak the truth "

Pastor Dorcas went on to say that no matter what the world thought of their relationship, she would continue to love her husband, pray for him, and support his vision for Kenya.
Her comments came just days after National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah made a personal assault on her during a public event, causing significant uproar.
While continuing his typical attack of Gachagua, Ichung’wah targeted Pastor Dorcas, implying that the former Deputy President was having marital problems and being dominated by his wife.
The remarks drew criticism from Kenyans across the political spectrum, with many urging the lawmaker to limit his criticism to Gachagua and avoid dragging his spouse into political battles.

The situation reached a fever pitch a day ago, when women leaders aligned with the former DP gathered together to not only condemn the MP, but also to request the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrest him.
“We have information that you are targeting women, and as women in DCP, we are not happy,” one of the leaders stated.
“We want the DCI to apply the same energy they’re using to pursue women in DCP to arrest Kimani Ichung’wah.”
Ichung’wah has yet to apologize for his words, despite the fact that the matter is escalating.
