Ashok Sunny, the personal tailor to President William Ruto, didn't mince his words when he shared his thoughts on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's choice of attire during his encounter with King Charles III in Mombasa.
In an exclusive morning interview on TV 47 on Friday, November 3, Sunny didn't hold back in expressing his views on the Deputy President's outfit, stopping just short of labeling it a fashion catastrophe.
Sunny's Assessment of Gachagua's Attire The highly regarded tailor was quick to highlight that Gachagua's clothing choice was anything but unique, describing it as a basic ensemble that could easily be acquired from any local store – a generic shirt that lacked any distinctive appeal.
Sunny went on to elaborate that the event made it apparent that only President William Ruto had a clear sense of brand identity and intent when it came to his sartorial selections for various state functions.
He further emphasized that Gachagua's advisors were failing to assist him in establishing a distinct public image in the eyes of the Kenyan populace.
Sunny stated, "Only the President has a dedicated team behind him, carefully crafting his image and ensuring he consistently represents his brand. In the case of the Deputy President, it appears that the significance of his appearance and attire in public is undervalued. I believe this is the point we've reached because it seems that not much thought has gone into it."
He continued, "What we witnessed was essentially a generic Kenyan male wardrobe – a floral shirt, jeans, and sneakers. It's the type of outfit that any man can easily acquire from a store. The only thing missing is a windbreaker. It's evident that there's a lack of strategic planning behind his attire, and the individuals responsible for advising him are falling short in this regard."
Gachagua's Meeting with King Charles III
On Thursday, November 2, Gachagua had the opportunity to meet King Charles III after initially missing the highly anticipated State House dinner on Tuesday, October 31. Their encounter took place at the Mtongwe Naval Base in Likoni, Mombasa, where the King and Queen Camilla observed a joint drill by the Kenya Navy and the Royal Marines.
