Pastor Dorcas Rigathi Sounds Festive Call for Sobriety and Safety

With the festive season fast approaching, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, the Spouse of the Deputy President of Kenya, has issued a heartfelt plea to Kenyans to celebrate responsibly and prioritize safety. Her message focuses on the importance of remaining sober during the festivities, particularly avoiding drunk driving, for a joyful and productive holiday season.

"I want you to remain sober so that we can have a productive and prosperous nation," declared Pastor Rigathi in a recent statement. "I want you to celebrate alive, as I have always been saying. I want you to celebrate the way you want. I want you to celebrate sober."

Her call for sobriety resonates with a deep concern for the welfare of Kenyans and the potential dangers associated with festive revelry. Tragically, past holiday seasons have witnessed an increase in road accidents, often fueled by alcohol consumption. Pastor Rigathi's message aims to raise awareness and prevent such devastating occurrences.

"As you drive, drive sober," she emphasized. "We must be careful the way we behave this season. Let us not lose lives while we can control ourselves." Her words urge Kenyans to prioritize responsibility and care for themselves and others on the road.

Pastor Rigathi's plea extends beyond personal safety, highlighting the broader societal and economic consequences of drunk driving. "Many people have been maimed through road carnages, something that should not be the case during these festivities," she noted. "These accidents put a strain on our healthcare system and rob families of their loved ones."

Her message resonates with the aspirations of a nation striving for progress and prosperity. By advocating for responsible behavior, Pastor Rigathi promotes a festive season that fosters joy, togetherness, and a collective vision for a brighter future.

Her advocacy resonates with ongoing national efforts to promote road safety. Kenya's National Road Safety Authority (NTSA) regularly launches campaigns emphasizing the dangers of drunk driving and other risky behaviors. Pastor Rigathi's voice adds a powerful spiritual dimension to these efforts, encouraging Kenyans to celebrate with mindfulness and respect for human life.

As Kenyans gear up for the festive season, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi's call for sobriety offers a timely reminder to prioritize safety, responsibility, and the well-being of oneself and others. By embracing her message, Kenyans can contribute to a joyful and prosperous festive season that celebrates life and paves the way for a brighter future.
