The rollercoaster that is comedian Mulamwah's love life has just taken an unexpected and frankly hilarious detour, courtesy of none other than Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya. Just when the dust seemed to be settling on Mulamwah's confirmed split from his partner Ruth (despite some persistent "publicity stunt" whispers surrounding his comedy show, "Let Me Explain"), the outspoken MP decided to inject a dose of cultural tradition and bold admiration into the mix. Buckle up, folks, because this is a celebrity breakup saga you won't see every day!
For those who've been following the saga, Mulamwah recently laid it all bare, confirming that his relationship with Ruth, the mother of his child, had indeed come to an end. This announcement, however, was met with a healthy dose of skepticism from some corners of his fanbase, who couldn't help but wonder if it was all a cleverly orchestrated move to drum up attention for his upcoming comedy show. Mulamwah, however, stood firm, insisting that the separation was genuine.

Meanwhile, Ruth added fuel to the speculative fire by posting a video showcasing some swanky new kitchen appliances. Eagle-eyed netizens were quick to point out that the backdrop of the video – the floor tiles, the TV stand, even the television itself – looked distinctly different from the home she and Mulamwah had previously shared. This observation sparked a fresh wave of speculation, with many concluding that Ruth had indeed moved on to a new residence.
Adding another layer to the intrigue, Mulamwah then shared photos of a woman purported to be his new romantic interest. This move left many wondering if it was a genuine step forward or, perhaps, a pointed reaction to Ruth's apparent new chapter. The breakup, it seemed, was far from a clean cut.
And that's where our honorable Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, decided to make his grand entrance into this very public personal drama. Known for his outspoken nature and active social media presence, MP Salasya didn't hold back his thoughts on the matter. Taking to social media, he confessed his utter bewilderment at Mulamwah's decision to part ways with Ruth, whom he described in no uncertain terms as "very attractive."
To underscore his point, the MP shared a striking photo of Ruth in a figure-hugging black dress that certainly accentuated her curves. Accompanying the image was the now-viral question: "This woman is so gorgeous, why did my brother leave her?" But Salasya wasn't just offering his perplexed opinion; he was about to take things to a whole new level, invoking the traditions of his Luhya community.

In a move that sent the internet into a frenzy, MP Salasya then delved into the Luhya tradition of wife inheritance. For those unfamiliar, this cultural practice traditionally involves a widow being inherited by a male relative of her deceased husband. While the practice has evolved and faces varying perspectives in modern society, Salasya playfully suggested a rather unconventional application in Mulamwah's situation.
"Mulamwah should have left Ruth for me since I am still single," the MP declared with surprising audacity. "She is so beautiful." He then went on to instruct the comedian to either reconcile with Ruth or, in the spirit of (a very loose interpretation of) tradition, hand her over to him. "I will not refuse," Salasya stated unequivocally. "Our in-law is a beauty."
Salasya's Facebook post exploded, quickly racking up over 10,000 likes and more than 1,800 comments. Netizens were thoroughly entertained by the MP's unexpected foray into celebrity gossip and his rather unique proposition. Some playfully urged Salasya to indeed "make a move" on Ruth, while others wholeheartedly agreed with his assessment of her looks, showering her with compliments. The comment section became a vibrant mix of humor, cultural commentary, and outright disbelief at the unfolding drama.
It remains to be seen whether MP Salasya's comments were purely a lighthearted jab, a tongue-in-cheek engagement with a trending topic, or perhaps a genuine (albeit publicly stated) expression of admiration. Given his known personality, the former seems most likely. However, the sheer audacity of invoking a cultural tradition in such a contemporary and public manner is what makes this whole episode so utterly captivating and humorous.
The big question now is: how will Mulamwah react to this unexpected political intervention in his personal life? Will he find the humor in the situation? Will he politely decline the MP's "offer"? Or will he simply continue to navigate his breakup and new relationship, perhaps with a bemused shake of his head? The comedian, known for his own witty and often provocative social media presence, is likely to have a response that will keep this saga entertaining.
This entire episode serves as a fascinating example of the increasingly blurred lines between celebrity culture, political engagement, and the unfiltered world of social media. An MP openly commenting on a comedian's breakup, invoking cultural traditions in a playful (or perhaps slightly controversial) way, and the ensuing social media frenzy highlight the unique dynamics of our digital age. It's a reminder that in the world of online entertainment, anything can happen, and sometimes, the most unexpected commentators can steal the show.
