Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has hit out at his critics, telling them he will not shy away from being proud of his tribe. "Everybody should be proud of your origin and identity, nobody should ever make you feel embarrassed about your origin and identity,'' Gachagua said. Speaking when he addressed the Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya International Conference in Mombasa on Wednesday, Gachagua said he will always retreat to the village after work. "I don't want to say a lot, I want to go to Nairobi briefly then I go to the village,'' he said. Defending his dalliance with his Kikuyu language when addressing rallies and meeting his backyard, Gachagua said language is an element of identity.
