Deputy Gachagua took Kenyans down memory lane after he met his college mate in Botswana.
An elated DP on Sunday said that his college mate whom he referred to as Ichangai Muiruri runs the biggest land valuation firm in Botswana.
"As I met Kenyans living in Botswana last night, I was elated to see Ichangai Muiruri, my former college mate at the University of Nairobi. A land economist who has lived here for 25 years now, he runs the biggest Land Valuation firm in Botswana," he said.
While joining the DP in his early morning run, the two walked through the streets of Gaborone as they traced their treasured memories in the 1980s.
This happened as Muirurio took Gachagua through the opportunities in real estate and farming in Botswana that Kenyans can invest in.
"I took this time to thank him for having given me a business opportunity in 1989," Gachagua said.
The DP revealed that his college mate hired his mobile Disco for his pre-wedding and subsequent wedding evening party.
For this, Gachagua was paid Sh1,500 each for both occasions .
With the payment, the DP said he had eyed a piece of land in Nairobi.
"With the Sh3,000 from Mr. Ichangai, I added another Sh2000 to place a Sh5000 deposit," Gachagua revealed.
The deposit was a 10 percent deposit for a quarter of an acre plot at Kahawa Sukari in Nairobi that was then sold at Sh50,000.
From his investment, the DP said today he receives numerous offers from people interested in buying the land.
"Today, I receive daily offers to sell the same plot for Sh15 million. Tumetoka mbali! Tena mbali saana,"Gachagua added.
The DP is in Gaborone for the 2023 Forbes under 30 summit, where he is representing President William Ruto.
The 5-day summit brings together the world’s most elite young entrepreneurs and game-changers from more than 40 countries, to celebrate and learn from each other, inspiring the newest and next generation of leaders.
