Gachagua further stated that due to the historical significance of his Karen house, it will continue to be a homestay for his family.
“I have such an emotional attachment to this home, my children grew up here, my parents lived with me here for many years,” Gachagua divulged.
“It is very nostalgic for me to walk away from a home where I have lived for 24 years,” he said.
