Pastor Dorcas Set for First Major TV Interview Since Husband’s Impeachment

Former Second Lady Reverend Dorcas Rigathi is preparing to make a major television appearance, marking her first major TV interview since her husband, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, was removed from office through impeachment in October 2024.

Dorcas is expected to open up about her personal experiences, faith and the changes she has encountered since leaving the country’s second-highest political office.

The interview will be featured on Citizen TV’s Sunday Live programme, hosted by veteran journalists Jeff Koinange and Olive Burrows. It is scheduled to air this Sunday at 9pm.

In a promotional announcement shared on Facebook, the television station offered a glimpse of what viewers should expect, suggesting that the conversation will explore her life beyond the privileges and responsibilities associated with being the Second Lady.

“The story did not end. It changed! From Second Lady to a woman redefined. Life after impeachment. Faith after power. Purpose after the change,” Citizen TV announced.

The broadcaster further indicated that Dorcas would share her experiences in her own words, giving viewers an opportunity to hear her perspective on the period following her husband’s departure from office.

Her appearance comes against the backdrop of Gachagua’s dramatic political exit, which followed a Senate vote that upheld his impeachment and ended his tenure as Deputy President.

Since the political transition, attention has remained on the former Deputy President’s family and how they have adjusted to life outside the country’s top leadership.

The upcoming conversation is expected to touch on personal transformation, religious commitment and the challenges of navigating life after occupying a prominent public position.

Kenyans will be able to follow the interview on Citizen TV this Sunday from 9pm.
