Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has lost his brother.
Jack Reriani died yesterday at Jamii Hospital, Karatina, Nyeri. In an emotional tribute, the DP describes his departed brother as “so happy, jovial and full of life.”
“The news of your passing on last night hit me hard as I remain alone among the Kirigo sons,” adds Gachagua in the tribute.
Reriani paid for Gachagua’s education in high school. The DP says he spent time with late Reriani for three days around the time of his inauguration as second in command.
“We shared beautiful moments of our life back in the village. I had the opportunity to thank you for paying my school fees in high school[at Kianyaga High School]. We agreed on your enhanced role to lead the Kirigo family in view of my National duties,” he adds.
“We parted happily and agreed that I would come home after we settle down to discuss family matters. Little did I know that those beautiful moments we shared would be our last,” Gachagua mourns on social media.
Gachagua also sent condolences to late Reriani’s immediate family and the larger Gachagua family.
“May the almighty God give your wife and son strength to bear the loss. I love you big the way you have always loved me,” he says.
This is the second time this year that the Gachagua family has been thrown into mourning.
In May, the family lost another brother -James- who died at 78 after a long illness.
