"Mercedes Benz is a car that I don't allow my driver to drive, I drive it myself."

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed that he does not allow his driver to drive his Mercedes Benz.

Speaking on Thursday, June 29 during a meeting with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) president Martin Schulz in Karen, Gachagua confessed his admiration for German cars saying they are efficient.

"On a lighter note, I am a fan of your car, the Mercedes Benz. Mercedes Benz is a car that I don't allow my driver to drive, I drive it myself because most vehicles from Germany last long, they are tested and they are efficient. Even a lot of equipment in our industries is from Germany, “Gachagua stated.

During the meeting, Gachagua lauded the FES foundation for its tremendous contributions to Kenya’s transformative agenda.

He urged them to continue supporting the Government’s agenda in promoting democratic values of freedom, social justice, climate change & sustainable development, and peace & security.

DP Gachagua also stated that the UDA Party will emulate the federal republic of Germany for its consistency in entrenching an ideology-based party.

"When we went to the election, the party was 7 months old. We want to strengthen internal democracy, strengthen institutions and make it a party based on ideology. Empowering people at the bottom of the social pyramid, we are building our party on that ideology. We want it to remain a serious party for years and years to come,” he stated.
