• On Friday last week, Gachagua confessed that he gives his wife Pastor Dorcas Gachagua Sh3,000 for making her hair.

• Though a joke, the guide suggests that a woman should get based on their man's income and not a round figure.

Days after Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua revealed he gives his wife Sh3,000 as salon money, Kenyan men have come up with a guide on how much women deserve.

On Friday last week, Gachagua confessed that he gives his wife Pastor Dorcas Gachagua Sh3,000 for making her hair.

Gachagua called on men to step up and ensure their wives look good.

He went on to say he ensures his wife Dorcas shines by giving her money to make her hair.

Gachugua was speaking at the launch of the Women Enterprise Fund and the second product of the Hustler Fund at Kenyatta International Convention Center.

“Look at Pastor Dorcas, I have done my part…it is also important to look for a calm woman. I am so lucky I married a pastor who does not have so many needs. I give her Sh3000 and she is content,” he said.

Adding that “Women should only cover their heads during religious ceremonies in church. On other days they should be pampered, put in hair dryers, and style their hair.”

He has reacted to going viral about it.

"The Sh 3,000 that I talked about is for pastor Dorcas. Give your wife what you are used to giving. If you were giving her 10,000, continue," He added in another viral video.

"Don't take advantage vile nilisema, that Sh3,000 that I said, its for Pastor Dorcas. Wewe patia mama ya kwako vile mumezoeana, " laughing about it, Rigathis added "because kama yako ulikuwa unampatia 10,000 unajua some peopel are now taking advantage because I said I give Pastor Drocas sh3,000 kutake advantage kupunguza, pea mama ile mulizoeana, and you know the constitution does not allow you to withdraw a benefit you give what you have been doing "

Adding "So wewe mama piugania haki zako wasitumie hio kufinya nyinyi, hiypo ni ya Pastor Dorcas elfu tatu mhubiri hana mambo mingi, you peopel dont take advange vile nilisema"

Though a joke, the guide suggests that a woman should get based on their man's income and not a round figure.
