Fielding questions from renowned journalist Jeff Koinange, Atwoli cited his wife's political ambitions as the main reason why they parted ways.

"She decided to go into politics and so I had to let her go... I am not a man who will be found in lodgings doing some things so I got another wife. I am a very busy man and I need someone to take care of me," Atwoli said.

The trade unionist has been the talk of the town in recent days after marrying a KTN Swahili anchor, their yawning age gap the subject of animated online chatter.

The two lovers met over a decade ago in Uganda with Atwoli promising to fight to win her heart.
