Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has spoken publicly following the High Court judgment that upheld the impeachment of her husband, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, offering a message of faith, gratitude and optimism to supporters.
In her remarks after the ruling, Pastor Dorcas encouraged those who had stood with the family throughout the legal and political process not to lose hope. She maintained that setbacks should not be viewed as permanent defeat and insisted that the future still holds opportunity.
Her statement followed the highly anticipated judgment by a three-judge bench that ruled on petitions challenging the constitutionality and legality of Gachagua’s removal from office. The decision marked another major chapter in one of Kenya’s most closely followed political disputes.
According to Pastor Dorcas, difficult moments often become turning points rather than endings. She thanked supporters for their prayers and encouragement and signalled that the family would remain focused despite the outcome of the case.
The impeachment battle had centered on arguments over due process, constitutional safeguards and whether the legal threshold for removing a deputy president had been properly met. Gachagua’s legal team had sought to overturn the process and challenged several aspects of how it was conducted.
Despite the court’s decision, the former deputy president had previously indicated that he remained prepared for any outcome and maintained that his public and political engagement would continue beyond the ruling.
Pastor Dorcas’ response reflected that position, choosing to emphasise perseverance rather than disappointment. Her message appeared designed to reassure supporters and project confidence at a time of heightened political attention.
Gachagua’s removal from office followed parliamentary and Senate proceedings that ultimately resulted in his impeachment, making Kenyan constitutional history under the current governance framework.
Since leaving office, Pastor Dorcas has remained active in public engagements and has continued to attract attention through faith-based and community initiatives.
Her latest remarks now add a personal and spiritual dimension to the aftermath of the court decision, with a central message that the family remains hopeful and believes that nothing has been lost.
