Gachagua described the discussions as eye-opening, underscoring the depth of concern among Kenyans in the diaspora about the direction their homeland is taking.
Despite widespread frustrations, he expressed optimism, noting that the shared longing for a better and more inclusive Kenya remains strong.
The event also saw the presence of celebrated Mugithi artist Samidoh, who is currently on an extended music tour across the U.S.
His attendance added a cultural flavor to the otherwise policy-heavy gathering, attracting interest from fans and diaspora youth.
Radio presenter Muthoni Wa Kirumba also graced the occasion, turning heads in an elegant black gown.In a cheerful social media post, she thanked Seattle’s Federal Way residents and announced an after-party at Lims Lounge Restaurant.
Muthoni, known for her energetic “Changamuka Show” on Kameme FM alongside Muthee Kihenjo, is a household name among Kikuyu radio audiences.
Away from the event, Muthoni recently found herself at the center of controversy after throwing shade at Woman Rep Betty Maina, a known critic of Gachagua.

Her fierce reactions drew both criticism and praise, demonstrating the emotional charge surrounding current political discourse.
