Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday held a meeting with the family of the late Coast musician Ally B at his official residence in Mombasa.

The DP offered to pay school fees for Ally B's so who is currently in form three at Concordia Secondary School.

"The DP through former Starehe Mp Charles Njagua 'Jaguar' requested to meet the family. As you know the Ally B was a close ally of the president and his deputy, he played a big role in their campaigns" said Presenter Gates Mgenge who was part of the team that met the DP.

Adding" As you are also aware Ally B was the bread winner of the family and his passing has left a huge gap in the family, the DP promised to stand with them. He offered the wife a business capital and promised to ensure that Ally B's sister and brother get a job.''

The DP also delivered President William Ruto's condolence message to the family.
