Rigathi Gachagua, the leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), has confirmed that a ranch in Texas, USA, is his personal property. The ranch, which Gachagua has dubbed "Wamunyoro Texas", has been the subject of online discussion after images and videos of the property were shared by Mumias East MP Peter Salasya. According to Gachagua, he will be spending 15 more days at the ranch after completing his 50-day political tour in the United States.
Gachagua, who departed Kenya on August 26, is set to conclude his tour in Boston on October 10. Instead of returning home immediately, he will head to the ranch for a special meeting to plan the party's strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections. The meeting is expected to bring together party leaders, experts, and international friends to discuss key issues, including the formation of political alliances and the selection of a joint presidential candidate.
The ranch, which is situated in a sprawling area with well-manicured lawns, features a large single-story house made of red bricks, outdoor seating areas, and Texas Longhorn cattle. Images shared by Gachagua show a small utility vehicle with the inscription "Wamunyoro Texas" and "Riggy G". The property has sparked interest among Kenyans, with many taking to social media to express their admiration for Gachagua's success.
MP Salasya, who visited the ranch, described it as a symbol of Gachagua's hard work and financial discipline. According to Salasya, Gachagua shared with him the secret to his success, which includes working hard, being financially disciplined, and having faith. The visit has generated significant interest in Gachagua's life and politics, with many Kenyans curious about his lifestyle.
According to DCP's Acting Secretary-General, John Methu, Gachagua has visited five different cities during his US tour, including Spokane, Washington, Portland, Oregon, Kansas City, Missouri, and Texas. The party plans to use the ranch as a venue for meetings and strategy sessions, focusing on key issues such as economic recovery and political alliances.
The discussions at the ranch are expected to cover a range of topics, including reducing dependence on loans, consolidating public institutions, expanding the tax base, and increasing revenue for county governments. The party aims to evaluate over 80 public and private sessions that Gachagua has attended during his tour, discussing issues such as the economy, human rights, and Kenya's political future.
Although Gachagua's exact return date to Kenya has not been announced, his party has promised to release the information once all his planned activities in the US are completed. The visit has provided a glimpse into Gachagua's life and politics, sparking both admiration and debate among Kenyans.
