Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, recently discussed his unmarried status, citing the challenge of locating a partner willing to reside in the village.
The newly-elected MP shared his predicament in an interview on TV 47 during media personality Betty Kyalo’s comeback on May 10.
Salasya disclosed that most of the women he encountered preferred city living, which posed a challenge in finding a suitable match.
Despite fans’ curiosity regarding his personal life, including questions about his marital status and wealth, Salasya openly acknowledged that finding a compatible spouse as a public official was no easy feat.
“First of all, women should understand that being submissive is biblical. It has become very difficult for me to get married because nowadays women want to be with you all the time,” he said.
“I do not want my wife to stay with me in Nairobi. I want her to stay in the country. Here in Nairobi, I am always moving around because of my work,” Salasya explained.
When asked about his ideal woman, Salasya said he wanted a busy woman, who would not constantly text him during working hours.
“Some people advised me to marry either a teacher or a banker because they are always very busy. I want someone like that who is very busy so that she does not stress me. Someone like that will not have time to send me messages all the time,” he added.
Salasya also said he was open to polygamy and that he would look after three wives.
“As a first-time MP, you know I have to buy a house, a car, all these basic things. So my payslip does not look very good right now, but that is because I am buying all these things. In the future, I will have settled down”.
In the interview, Salasya explained his fondness for social media, citing it as a crucial tool in his election victory.
He stressed that he relied on social media platforms to secure his political victory, as he did not have the financial means to distribute handouts during the campaign.
