Ever since the Parliament passed the polygamy bill in March 2014, a number of politicians are seen to have embraced it while others keep on emerging. Some even proudly brag about their polygamous relationship.
Bonni Khalwale, the former Kakamega senator has two wives whom he at times, parade in public functions. In a former interview, he alleged that he might even be having more than just two wives. “I can confirm that I have more than one wife and several children. The rest are details.”
Former Rongo Member of Parliament, Dalmas Otieno, who has a total of three wives made his polygamous status viral during his third traditional wedding ceremony in Homa Bay County. Dalmas married Dorothy Atieno, his third wife, at age 33, she, later on, became the Homa Bay County Executive Committee Member for Tourism, Culture and Sports.
Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong is also not left from the list. Although Judy Ojaamong is the known wife with whom he usually attends public gatherings with, the Governor is alleged to be having more than three wives. Women who claimed that they had once cohabited together before he deserted them made several court cases against him seeking child upkeep and maintenance.
Nairobi Women Representative, Esther Passaris had once revealed that she was in a polygamous marriage. Esther Passaris stated that she had once walked into a restaurant for a business meeting only to find her husband having lunch with another woman, which was clearly not a business meeting.
