The instructor is heard explaining different aspects of handling the gun as Gachagua and Dorcas follow the instructions during the training session.
The video has attracted the attention of many Kenyans, with some questioning the reason behind the training and wondering why the former deputy president and his wife were learning how to use a firearm while in the US.
Others, however, have pointed out that firearms training is a common activity in the United States, where people can legally undergo training on gun safety and handling depending on the applicable laws and regulations.
The circumstances surrounding the training, including where exactly it took place and why Gachagua and his wife attended the session, were not immediately clear from the video alone.
The footage has continued to generate different reactions online, with Kenyans sharing their opinions and debating what may have prompted the former deputy president and his wife to take part in the training.
As the video continues to circulate, social media users remain divided over the unusual footage and the reasons behind Gachagua and Dorcas’ decision to participate in the firearms training.
