Inside Gachagua’s Karen Home: Cream Armchairs, Wooden Ceiling and Elegant Interior Design

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has offered Kenyans a rare look inside his Karen residence after Embakasi East MP Babu Owino visited him to mourn the loss of his sister.

The visit attracted attention after photos of the two politicians emerged online, giving the public a glimpse of the home’s interior and its well-appointed surroundings.

The meeting also stood out because of the politicians’ history of public disagreements, with Babu setting aside their political differences to express his condolences.

The room where the two leaders held their meeting featured a distinctive circular design, with a high ceiling decorated with honey-coloured wooden slats extending from the centre.

Cream-painted walls, wooden window frames and floral curtains gave the sitting room a warm appearance. Large windows overlooking greenery allowed natural light into the space.

Gachagua sat in a cream armchair with decorative gilded detailing, while Babu occupied a tan-orange leather sofa featuring carved wooden accents.

A glass-topped coffee table stood between them, accompanied by a wooden side table. Other visible features included a wall lamp, a standing speaker and framed artwork.

Two large paintings were also noticeable behind the politicians. One depicted Gachagua wearing a teal suit and blue tie against a red background featuring the Kenyan coat of arms. The other was a close-up portrait painted in dark, warm tones.

The compound outside the residence appeared neatly maintained, with a green fence covered in flowers, vegetation along the perimeter and a gazebo within the grounds.

After the meeting, Babu shared a message on social media explaining the reason for his visit and expressing sympathy to the former deputy president’s family.

He described the loss as a painful reminder of shared humanity, adding that political differences and titles should take a back seat during moments of grief.

“Today, I had the honour of visiting and standing in solidarity with Rigathi Gachagua and his family following the painful loss of his beloved sister,” he wrote.

Babu also prayed for strength and comfort for the bereaved family as they came to terms with their loss.

The condolence visit attracted attention from Kenyans, with the meeting highlighting a moment of solidarity between two politicians who have previously exchanged sharp remarks in public.
