Mama Ida Hunts Wife for Salasya
Mama Ida Odinga, the wife of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, has stepped up to help Mumias East MP Peter Salasya in his quest for a life partner.
While visiting Opoda Farm in Siaya County on Friday, Salasya jokingly turned to Mama Ida, asking her to assist him in finding a woman who is as “good and beautiful” as she is.
“Nakuomba wewe mimi kama kijana mdogo, wakati nataka kuoa bibi, nipate bibi kama wewe,” he said.
“There are a lot of things I want to share, nitakuja nikae na wewe pekee yetu kwa sababu kuna mambo mengi sana,” he added.
In a spirited response, Mama Ida took on the challenge, promising the MP that she would personally assist him in finding the right partner.
“I’ve heard your request. You mentioned you want a girl from here, and I won’t take that lightly. Daughters of Raila, I’ll investigate thoroughly,” she declared, referring to a group of women from Suba West who had gathered to honor the late Raila Odinga.
Her words sparked cheers and applause from the “Daughters of Raila,” who embraced her commitment with enthusiasm.
Mama Ida made it clear that she was serious about the task and would ensure that Salasya finds a suitable match among the group.
Salasya has openly shared his quest for a wife in the past.
In 2022, he told The Standard that he was on the lookout for a God-fearing woman who would stand by him in his political journey.
“I am just looking for a very prayerful woman, a very young girl, a focused girl, a supportive girl, presentable and must be able to speak to the people in the countryside. Are you willing to join me we go look for votes?” he said at the time.
He also stated that he was not in a hurry to make a decision.
“I’m an exposed man. Kwani naeza pelekwa pelekwa hivi. I am an MP, and you know I have convinced people that I am a very intelligent person. I am strong,” he said.
Over the years, the youthful MP has expressed his intention to marry.
