In the pictures, DP Rigathi Gachagua can be seen standing in the middle of the stage and posing as though a panel of people is asking him questions.

A woman who Itumbi claimed played the part of Martha Karua and had no other purpose than to irritate Gachagua is standing on his left side.

He explained that this was done to make the session more useful.

“She did her assignment well… she even went barefoot – literally.”
