Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua trekked across Mount Kenya Forest with his wife Pastor Dorcas Rigathi on Saturday.
On their way, the DP and Pastor Dorcas met with residents of Kieni Constituency.
Gachagua stated in a statement that they took the time to connect with mother nature.
“Early this morning, Pastor Dorcas and I took time to walk through the larger Mt Kenya Forest to connect with Mother Nature and appreciate God’s creation,” he said.
The DP added that they trekked for 18 kilometers through Hombe Forest in Mathira Constituency before getting into Kabaru Forest in Kieni Constituency.
“We thank God for the rains as the greenery of our heritage is evident; the roaring sound from River Sagana was soothing to our souls,” he said.
“We met enthusiastic farmers and livestock herders who were thankful to the Lord for the rains.”
He said that he is challenged by the responsibility of President William Ruto in the economic liberation of the country.
On Friday, Gachagua visited his aunt, Gladys Gathoni who stays a few kilometres from his home.
