Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Thursday, June 29, revealed his little-known love for German vehicles, especially the Mercedes Benz.
Speaking during a meeting with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) president Martin Schulz in Karen, Gachagua revealed that the Mercedes Benz, a common feature among Kenya's wealthy class, is one car he prefers to drive himself.
The DP noted that he loves the car so much that he does not let his driver take the wheel in it.
He further explained that he prefers the automobile due to its efficiency and reliability, which accords him the confidence to drive it himself.

"On a lighter note, I am a fan of your car, the Mercedes Benz. Mercedes Benz is a car that I don't allow my driver to drive.
"I drive it myself because most vehicles from Germany last long, they are tested and they are efficient. Even a lot of equipment in our industries is from Germany," Gachagua stated.
The former Mathira MP also lauded the comfort of the car, whose latest models range between Ksh10 million to Ksh30 million, adding to the delegates that Kenyan buyers preferred machines and other household items manufactured in Germany because they gave them value for their money.
"German technology is very much accepted here because it is proven and reliable," he added.
Gachagua's love for Mercedes Benz is compared to President William Ruto, who has a special love relationship with the Lexus LX 570 tracing back to his campaign trail and which he now uses as his official car.
Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) Foundation
In terms of the foundation, the DP lauded the Friedrich Ebert Foundation's tremendous contribution to Kenya’s transformative agenda and urged them to continue supporting the Government’s agenda in promoting democratic values of freedom, social justice, climate change & sustainable development, and peace & security.
DP Gachagua also stated that the UDA Party will emulate the federal republic of Germany for its consistency in entrenching an ideology-based party.
"When we went to the election, the party was 7 months old. We want to strengthen internal democracy, strengthen institutions and make it a party based on ideology.
"Empowering people at the bottom of the social pyramid, we are building our party on that ideology. We want it to remain a serious party for years and years to come,” he stated.
President of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) Foundation, Martin Schulz, on his part, welcomed Gachagua's sentiments and indicated that Germany was keen on bolstering bilateral relations with Kenya to end security threats, especially in Lamu.
"Policy of the federal republic of Germany in relation to your country is inspired by full respect. We have constructive cooperation on the basis of shared values.
"We rely on bilateral relations. Kenya is in an economic relationship with Europe. It is a reliable partner in our cooperation," Schulz stated.
