Riggy G’s Wife Denies Allegations Of Controlling Him In Their Marriage

Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has once again shut down persistent rumors that she dominates her husband, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Speaking during an interview on Oga Obinna TV on Sunday, March 8, 2026, the former Second Lady described such claims as exaggerated and a complete misunderstanding of their marital dynamics.

A Foundation of Mutual Effort

Addressing the public’s fascination with their relationship and wealth, Dorcas clarified that their achievements are the product of decades of shared planning. She revealed that their strategy from the beginning was to marry early and build their lives together. She emphasized that she knows exactly how their estate was established because she was an active participant in its creation, rather than a passive bystander.

Dorcas specifically tackled the gossip surrounding her constant presence at her husband’s side during his political and official engagements. She explained that her involvement is never about dictating terms or wielding undue influence. Instead, she clarified that she appears at functions because her husband asks for her presence and support. “Sometimes you see me there, it’s because he asked me to be there. I support my husband fully,” she stated, rejecting the “namkalia” (dominating him) narrative.

Standing Firm Against Political Critics

The speculation regarding her influence reached a fever pitch in July 2025, following comments by then-National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, who implied she held too much sway over the former Deputy President. Dorcas previously dismissed these insinuations while meeting with clergy in the United States, labeling the claims ludicrous.

A Legacy Beyond Politics

While her visibility increased significantly during Gachagua’s tenure as Deputy President from 2022 until his impeachment in late 2024, Dorcas reminded the public of her independent contributions. As the Second Lady, she was a vocal advocate for the “boy child,” disability inclusion, and the welfare of widows and orphans—work she continues through her ministry in Mathira. She maintains that her public profile is a reflection of her shared values with her husband, not a power struggle within their home.
