Ivy Chelimo’s Journey With ‘Riggy G’

Ivy Chelimo, the creative force behind Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s viral nickname ‘Riggy G,’ recently shared how a catchy name led to an unexpected career opportunity. In an interview on Homeboyz Radio, Chelimo revealed how her viral creation became a pivotal moment in her professional life.

Chelimo explained that after ‘Riggy G’ began trending, she was contacted by Deputy President Gachagua’s son. He informed her that the Deputy President himself wanted to meet with her.

“After the name went viral, the DP’s son reached out to me and said his father wanted to see me. So, the next morning I went to the office, and he asked what I wanted. I said I wanted a job because I had been unemployed for almost a year after finishing school and was just at home,” Chelimo recounted.

Despite her legal background, Chelimo decided to seek a role beyond the legal field. During her meeting with Gachagua, she was offered a position in the legal department but chose to pursue a new path.

“Because I have a background in law, he asked whether I wanted to work in the legal department. I said no, I would like to try something new, and that’s when I expressed my interest in working in the communications department,” she revealed.

Chelimo has now been part of the Deputy President’s communications team for two years, finding both challenges and opportunities in her role. Reflecting on her journey, she described how her life took a dramatic turn from unemployment to a significant position in the Deputy President’s office.

“It’s been crazy, I won’t lie, but it’s also been an enlightening period in my life. One day, I was unemployed, probably thinking about doing my master’s, and the next day, I had a job. The best part about my work is the networks we build. You get to cross paths with people who can actually change your life,” she said.
