Rigathi’s Wife Responds to Sudi’s Mr Dorcas Nickname With an Answer Jeff Koinange Did Not Expect

Rev Dorcas Rigathi has responded to remarks by Jeff Koinange about her husband, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, being referred to as Mr Dorcas by his political rival, MP Kimani Ichung’wah, during a television discussion.

During the conversation on Citizen TV’s Sunday Live programme, Jeff brought up the nickname, saying that Sudi calls her husband Mr Dorcas. The remark prompted a response from Dorcas, who appeared comfortable with the name and offered an explanation that caught attention.

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

Her answer suggested that she did not see the nickname as an insult, instead linking it to a personal detail about her husband. She explained that Rigathi wears a ring engraved with her name, making the reference understandable from her point of view.

The exchange brought a lighter moment to the discussion, which touched on the public image of the former Deputy President and the way political leaders use personal references when speaking about one another.

The nickname has featured in political conversations, with leaders sometimes using personal remarks to challenge or tease their opponents. Such exchanges have become part of the wider political debate, especially as politicians position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Dorcas’s response also offered a different perspective on a name that could otherwise be interpreted as political mockery. Rather than reacting angrily, she chose to explain why she believed the description was accurate.

Her remarks have added another talking point to discussions surrounding Gachagua and his political relationships.

The brief exchange also showed how a simple question during a television interview can lead to an unexpected response, particularly when it involves personal details about public figures.
