Gaucho also acknowledged the role played by national leadership and key political figures in his journey, pointing to long-standing support that culminated in the appointment.
“I also extend my heartfelt appreciation to the President William Ruto for the opportunity to serve. Special thanks go to the family of Raila Odinga Baba and Broad-Based arrangement who believed in me long before this moment, and three years ago he assured me he would speak to the President on my behalf. Today, that promise has come to life,” he added.
In his remarks, Gaucho dedicated the milestone to grassroots supporters, particularly youth from informal settlements, framing his appointment as a symbol of possibility and inclusion.
“Above all, I dedicate this achievement to the ghetto people who have stood by me, believed in me, and lifted me up. This appointment is yours. If I can come this far, then every young person in the ghetto can rise.
This is a true reflection of the Bottom-Up vision,” he concluded.
