Rev Dorcas Rigathi Responds to Sudi Calling Her Husband ‘Mr Dorcas ‘

Rev Dorcas Rigathi has responded humorously to Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi’s reference to her husband, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, as ‘Mr Dorcas’.

Rather than take offence at the nickname, Dorcas appeared unbothered and gave an explanation that turned the conversation into a light-hearted moment.

“He is right. His ring is engraved with the name Dorcas, so he is simply stating a fact,” she said.

Her response suggested that she saw no reason to be offended by the name, pointing out that her husband’s ring carries her name. Instead of engaging in an argument over the remark, she chose to address it with humour.

The nickname has attracted attention because of its unusual wording and the public interest surrounding the relationship between Gachagua and his wife. Dorcas has remained a visible figure in her husband’s public life, often appearing alongside him during political and social engagements.

Gachagua, who served as Kenya’s Deputy President before his removal from office in October 2024, has continued to attract political attention through his public statements and activities.

Dorcas’s response has added a humorous dimension to the discussion, particularly because she did not reject the nickname or appear bothered by its use. Her explanation centred on the inscription on her husband’s ring, which she used to defend Sudi’s choice of words.

Her reaction shows how she chose to handle the remark without turning it into a confrontation.
