For the first time in 45 years, the alumni gathered, and Gachagua emphasized the importance of the school in his life. His leadership abilities were developed in that setting.
Gachagua remembered how they had shared cubicles and participated in theatre club performances as they reminisced about their time as classmates.
In addition, Julius Kano Ndumbi, the principal of his high school, was responsible for shaping him and inspiring him to pursue his aspirations, and he attributed his success to him.
Moreover, the Deputy President revealed that the alumni would start an initiative to mentor and offer financial support to the students at the school, noting that the institution was still known for its hot and dry nature.

The next reunion scheduled for March 18, according to Gachagua, will include their high school principal and former support staff members.
“We will mobilise all the old boys and teachers to meet at the school to assess the institution’s needs and chart how to improve its performance.
“Our no-nonsense Headteacher Julius Kano Ndumbi will be the Chief Guest flanked by all teachers who taught us, and members of the support staff,” Gachagua announced.
Re-unions are great, emotional, and inspiring. We will be back in Kianyaga High School- 'Kalahari' to mentor the young students; everyone has a story, and everyone has roots. pic.twitter.com/uEXWqILEjt

Additionally, he stated that most of his classmates struggled to pay school fees, and it was important for them to share their success stories with others.
“I am very excited to see all of you, and now Kianyaga is on the Kenyan map.”
It was momentous spending 3 good hours at Harambee House Annex with former schoolmates at Kianyaga High School, where my journey to success and leadership began 45 years ago today. We traced our old days at "Kalahari" as the school is still known for being in a hot and dry area. pic.twitter.com/lJo0eCnmAc
