"The Maa Community culture remains distinct and impressive. I have joined the community as we celebrate this rich culture together at the close of the Maa Cultural Festival," he said.
The deputy president's appearance in the regalia caused a kind of frenzy on the internet.
His funny but no-nonsense persona, while in public, has always bemused compatriots.
While a section appreciated the deputy president's show of diversity, others observed he was caricatured by his handlers.
Below are a few reactions to Rigathi's photo from the Kenyan netizens;
@Cyrus K. Cyko: "Nimengoja hii picha sana (I have waited for long)"
@Beatrice Kipkorir: "I was hoping this would look better on you sir. Keep trying, there is that one outfit for you out there."
@Chemutai Viby: "Everything was OK until Riggy G joined. Was a must he fold his leg?"
@Arnold Simiyu: "We were waiting for this."
@Daniel Ongera: "I knew this was coming, I have been waiting for this, he never disappoints."
@Isaac: "But big G should leave some of these things."
Earlier, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi had also joined the Maa community in the fest.
He appreciated the community's effort to safeguard the traditions dear to them in the face of the technological revolution that has had adverse effects on many ethnicities' ways of life.
"I laud the community's efforts in preserving their culture, which is truly cherished worldwide. As leaders, it is our responsibility to be custodians of culture preservation. I wholeheartedly pledge my unwavering support to this cause."
And as it were, Mudavadi also partook in the Maasai attire challenge.
