"I decided to change the name to suit my new job description which was to serve the people."

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday had to reiterate his commitment to Christianity by revealing that he was baptised and given a Christian name.

Gachagua who was addressing the National Prayer Breakfast meeting said he opted to change his name for political reasons.

"For those who doubt my faith because I don't have a baptism name, I was baptized and my name is Geoffrey, but along the way. I decided to change the name to suit my new job description which was to serve the people," Gachagua said.

He went on to say that his marriage to a pastor is another testament that he is indeed a committed  Christian.

This year's National Prayer Breakfast was themed "Reconciliation".
