As the political dust settled following a landmark court ruling that upheld the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, his wife, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, responded with a message rooted in faith, gratitude, and unwavering hope.
Hours after a three-judge bench sitting at the Ceremonial Hall of the Milimani Law Courts upheld the National Assembly’s decision to remove Gachagua from office, Pastor Dorcas took to social media to address supporters who had closely followed the case.
The ruling effectively cemented Gachagua’s removal from office and confirmed that Kithure Kindiki will continue serving as Deputy President.
While many viewed the judgment as a major political setback for the former deputy president, Pastor Dorcas chose a different perspective—one guided by faith rather than disappointment.
In a heartfelt message, she thanked the thousands of Kenyans who had stood with the family in prayer throughout the legal battle, expressing confidence that God’s purpose would prevail despite the outcome.
“God is still in control. Give thanks to the LORD. We thank every one of you who has stood with us in prayer. Nothing is lost. We bless God for this judgment,” she wrote.
Her words quickly attracted attention online, with supporters praising her calm and optimistic response in the face of a difficult moment for the family.
To reinforce her message, Pastor Dorcas shared two powerful scriptures that have comforted believers for generations. The first, Romans 8:28, speaks of God working all things together for good for those who love Him. The second, Jeremiah 29:11, reminds believers of God’s plans to prosper them and give them hope and a future.
The verses appeared to reflect the family’s determination to trust in divine guidance despite the legal and political challenges they now face.
For many observers, the message underscored Pastor Dorcas’ longstanding reputation as a woman of faith who often turns to scripture during moments of triumph and adversity alike.
Though the court’s decision marked the end of a significant chapter in Gachagua’s political journey, Pastor Dorcas’ response suggested that the family is looking beyond the courtroom and toward what they believe lies ahead.
Rather than dwelling on the loss, she framed the ruling as part of a bigger plan—one that may not yet be fully understood but is, in her view, still under God’s control.
As reactions to the judgment continue to pour in across the country, Pastor Dorcas’ message has emerged as one of resilience, faith, and hope amid one of the most defining moments in her husband’s political career.
