Dagoretti South Member of Parliament John Kiarie has reacted to the trending case where Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua boarded a commercial flight to Mombasa. Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie jokes about Deputy President Gachagua’s commercial flight. Photos shared on Facebook showed Gachagua carrying one bag while boarding the plane with no aides. When the deputy president reached Mombasa, his team shared photos of him carrying the bag. Unlike in the past, when he used to board private choppers, Gachagua opted to use a Kenya Airways flight. Some Kenyans linked the latest development to the ongoing battles in the Kenya Kwanza government. Was Gachagua creating content at JKIA? Reacting to this during a session in parliament, Kiarie suggested that Gachagua’s action might be a publicity stunt. He hilariously said that the politician’s action of boarding a commercial flight and carrying his own bag might be part of The Bahati Reality Show. “The deputy president is on record, saying it is a product of drama and festival. He has acted on stage, in plays and even at the University of Nairobi. So if he decided to put up a PR show, it’s not in the place of the whip to call him out. The deputy president is very serious about supporting talents. Only a few days ago, the deputy president was there for the Bahati Reality show. We might have had a continuation of the show on the runway of the JKIA. So I sought to find out if the whip was in order to take the mickey out of very serious professions. The profession of PR and actors. Even people who chase clout for content for TikTok are also doing a fine job,” Kiarie said.
