Death comes to all men, as it finally did to billionaire Governor Nderitu Gachagua. He becomes the first county boss to die in office, besides making history as the only one to be elected in Central Kenya outside President Uhuru Kenyatta’s TNA (The National Alliance) party during the 2013 elections. Gachagua was elected on the Grand National Union (GNU) ticket.

After two years of trying to use conventional medicine in top London hospitals, spiced up with miti shamba sneaked from Kenya, the Nyeri governor eventually succumbed to pancreatic cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in the United Kingdom.
