DP Gachagua is yet to occupy the official Deputy President’s residence since the August general elections.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is already working at the Deputy President’s official residence in Karen, despite the fact that he does not live in the residence.
According to the Daily Nation newspaper, DP Gachagua is yet to move into the mansion due to ongoing repairs following the departure of President William Ruto, who occupied the residence for ten years before transferring to State House.
According to the DP Gachagua’s office, he intends to settle there in by next year, 2023.

“The Deputy President is currently operating from the residence, and he will move in early next year. ” He will use it to carry out his official obligations in accordance with the constitution, ” the paper says.
DP Gachagua recently stated that he has no problem with not yet residing there, adding that he is having difficulty settling occupying the residence.
In an interview with KTN, the DP said that after 24 years of living in his own home, moving out is challenging owing to attachment, but he will eventually have to do so.
“I have such a strong emotional connection to this house. My children grew up in this house. For many years, my parents lived with me here. ” It’ s a really nostalgic decision for me to leave and start a new life, ” he explained.
The Deputy President’s official residence was opened by former late President Mwai Kibaki in November 2012.
The government spent Sh400 million on the enormous structure, which spans 10 acres and has a main house, two master suites, three kids’ rooms, and a guest wing.
In addition, it contains an office building with a boardroom area and a media center, as well as a four-bedroom caretaker’s cottage. Included are a guest house, staff quarters, six two-bedroom homes, and three one-bedroom homes.
A 20-cubic-meter swimming pool, a gazebo with a sauna and a gym, a backup generator room, and a six-car garage are all located outside.
