Gachuki made headlines in 2021 taking Kenyans by surprise after he boldly invited the ODM leader to his 22nd birthday party via a text message.

At the time, Gachuki was a third-year student at the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) pursuing Project Management.
Raila gifted Gachuki a dairy cow for his 22nd birthday.
He revealed that Raila’s surprise had placed him in the largest arena politically, not only in his village, ward, constituency, or county but country-wide.
