He appears to soak up the fine living he is enjoying as he vibes to the slow music in the background. Since the start of April, Gaucho has been the subject of national interest following his controversial appointment to the hospital board, a move that some social media users feel was undeserved. Gaucho, however, rose to defend himself from time to time, shutting down harsh criticisms from popular politicians and infuriating Kenyans. In a recent video, he appeared to imply that he was targeted for political mileage by politicians who want to use his appointment to the new role to bring down the Nairobi Governor, Johnson Sakaja.
He has also since defended his capacity to serve on the hospital board, stating his presence links the management to the ordinary public. What did fans say about Gaucho’s living room?

In other news, Gaucho defended his role at the Mama Lucy Hospital board, explaining that he was appointed mainly to act as a bridge between the public and hospital management rather than to perform technical medical duties. He stated that his responsibility involved relaying community concerns from Eastlands residents to the board, emphasising that such representation does not require formal medical qualifications. Gaucho also revealed that he receives sitting allowances of about KSh 4,000–KSh 5,000 per meeting, saying the role is more service-driven than financially rewarding and often costs him more in transport and upkeep than he earns.
