“Very soon we will roll out a program on how to harness talent and the creativity of our people and slowly, gradually turn it into a source of income and our contribution to our GDP,” he stated.

The DP in his address during the 94th edition of the Kenya National Music Festival also, albeit on a light note, seemingly embraced his popular ‘Riggy G’ nickname.

“Our young people are very creative, even I am amazed that our creative young people have given me a nickname,” he said.

“They have looked at my two names, Rigathi Gachagua, looked for something sounding easier, more melodious and called me ‘Riggy G’. I don’t think it is a bad name.”
