Dorcas Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed speculation that she plans to run for a Woman Representative seat, stating that if she were ever to join politics, she would only consider running for the presidency.
Speaking during an interview on Obinna TV on Sunday, March 8, 2026, the recently ordained reverend clarified that she currently has no political ambitions.
“If I were to go for any seat, it would be the presidency. How can I vie for a woman rep seat, really?” she said.
Dorcas explained that her focus remains on serving vulnerable members of society, including widows, orphans, and people living with disabilities.
She added that she is committed to spreading the gospel and uplifting marginalized groups rather than engaging in political competition.
“I don’t think I have ambition in that area; I have work to do, and a lot of it, that is for the widow and the people with disabilities,” she said.
Dorcas also emphasized her continued advocacy for the “boy child,” a cause she has repeatedly championed in recent years.
According to her, preaching the gospel and helping vulnerable people are among the greatest responsibilities God has entrusted to her. She noted that she prefers this calling rather than venturing into what she described as the “murky waters” of politics.
Her remarks come shortly after she was ordained as a reverend, an event that drew praise from her husband, Rigathi Gachagua.
Gachagua revealed that he and their sons allocate 10 percent of every shilling the family earns to support her ministry as a tithe.
He recalled that even during the intense 2022 general election campaigns, when much of their finances were directed toward political activities, the family still ensured that the tithe was set aside to support her clerical work.
