Gachagua offers to build mausoleum for late Johana Ng'eno

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has offered to build a mausoleum for the late Johanna Ng’eno. 

Speaking on Friday, August 21, while visiting Nge’no’s family in Mogondo, Emurua Dikirr, Gachagua said he will oversee the construction of the mausoleum for the late former MP. 

The DCP party leader asked the family to provide a design showing how they want the mausoleum to look. 

“I have agreed. If we can find someone to design it the way the mother wants, I will personally build it because this leader who is resting here was a very close friend of mine. 

“If the mother has asked for the grave to be built so that it is not exposed to rain, I will do that work,” Gachagua said.

Gachagua made the pledge after Ng’eno’s mother appealed to him to help construct a mausoleum over her son’s grave. 

“I am requesting that the grave be built so that it is protected from the rain. I had asked some people to do it, but up to now they have not built it, so I am asking you to take up the responsibility and build it,” Ng’eno’s mother told Gachagua.
