In a previous interview, Gachagua said that he had told his sons to find Ivy so they could have a special dinner with his family.

Additionally, he said that he liked the nickname and that it was a little more melodious than his actual name.

“The young lady who decided that Rigathi Gachagua is a little bit difficult and not melodious, we need to give him the name Riggy G. To encourage our young people, I took up the name in strides. I have told my sons to look for that girl to come we have dinner,” he said.

“I want to encourage that young girl, I will see what I can do for her so that I can see, from my salary, if I can boost her a little bit to be able to do something,”
