Emotional scenes were witnessed on Thursday as Kelvin Gaucho attended his first official meeting as a board member at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital following his recent appointment.
Gaucho, who rose to prominence for his vocal defense of Raila Odinga and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), was appointed to serve on the hospital’s board for a three-year term.
His selection had earlier sparked mixed reactions online, with some Kenyans questioning the criteria used while others called for expansion of such opportunities.
During the meeting held on April 23, 2026, Gaucho was seen engaging warmly with fellow board members in what many observers believe was an orientation session aimed at onboarding new officials.
