Together with his elder brother Kelvin, who is a software engineer, they help run the family business.
During his introductory remarks at the presidential debate, Gachagua proudly shared details about his family, spotlighting his sons’ academic and professional accomplishments. “I’m Rigathi, and I believe family is the foundation of society. Strong families build strong nations.
It is my pleasure and privilege to introduce my wife Dorcas, my firstborn son Kelvin Gachagua, and my second-born son, Keith Ikinu Rigathi,” he said.
While Keith has kept a low profile and stayed out of the political limelight, his academic record tells a story of dedication and excellence.
Keith was one of the top students in the 2010 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams, ranking 17th nationally with an impressive mean grade of A plain, scoring 86.92 points. His success at Alliance High School placed him among Kenya’s brightest young minds.
Keith’s academic prowess, however, traces back to his earlier years. He was also a top performer in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams, a significant achievement that set the stage for his future success. His consistent excellence is a reflection of his commitment to education and his desire to contribute to both his family and society.
Though Keith and his brother Kelvin maintain low profiles and keep their social media presence private, their achievements speak volumes.
From topping the KCPE exams to excelling in KCSE and eventually pursuing a medical career, Keith embodies the values of hard work and discipline that his father Rigathi Gachagua often emphasizes.
