EXCLUSIVE: Gaucho – I want Uhuru to buy me a house, not an expensive car
Bunge la Mwananchi President Calvince Okoth alias Gaucho has said, given a chance, he would ask retired President Uhuru Kenyatta to buy him a house.
Speaking Exclusively to Nairobi News, Gaucho said he is not interested in driving an expensive car, yet he has no house.
“I am to meet Uhuru in the course of next week and my number one priority is a house. I cannot accept a big car yet I don’t have a house of my own. Where will I even pack the car? So I will tell Uhuru I want a house,” he told Nairobi News.
The vocal young aspiring politician said he is tired of paying rent and just wishes to have a four-bedroom house in the outskirts of Nairobi.
