Should things go according to UDA's plan in the August 9 General Election, then Mathira MP Geoffrey Rigathi Gachagua will become the country's second most powerful man.
The fifth son of former Mau Mau freedom fighters from Hiriga village in Mathira constituency, Nyeri County, Gachagua served for more than 30 years as a civil servant, resigning in 2006 to concentrate on family business.
