You can take a man out of the village but you can never take out the village in him - DP Gachagua. 

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday, August 9 took an early morning walk and interacted with residents of Mathira Constituency, Nyeri County. 

The Deputy President reminisced about old times while growing up in Mathira as he recalled the days he used to school at Kabiru-ini Primary School.  

"I kicked off the day with an early morning walk, an exercise that I particularly love when I am in the village because it is a great moment to engage and catch up with fellow villagers - and even share lots of laughter. It was also reinvigorating to do the kilometres with some of the villagers who joined me in the walk. We had time to bond again.

"I visited one of my late mother's- best friends, Peris Gathoni. We shared memories of some moments with her friend; my mother, Martha Kirigo, recalling, with nostalgia, how the two women of steel hustled to raise us from boys to men. My interaction with pupils and students on their way to school took me back many years, when I walked bare feet to Kabiru-ini Primary School in the dark and chilly mornings, as we sought an education," Gachagua stated.

He added," I also bumped into the milkman and had a brief conversation on the Dairy Subsector. I assured him that the subsector will be streamlined, and sooner or later, we will put more money into the farmer's pocket. The people had a lot of feedback on infrastructure and the general development initiatives of the Ruto Administration in the region and specifically their area. The feedback is good; we will do more across the country to rebuild our Nation."
