‘Kiki na mbwembwe’ – Salasya speaks on going after high-profile figures
Mumias East MP Peter Salasya has come out to defend himself for hitting on high-profile public figures on social media, including veteran socialite Huddah Monroe.
Speaking during an interview on a local radio station on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, Salasya downplayed his actions on the internet, saying his interactions online are purely for fun and not to be taken seriously. He dismissed the claims as mere clout-chasing and light-hearted internet banter.
“Iyo ni kiki na mbwembwe. It is good to always have fun. And it’s good to appreciate what God has created for us,” Salasya stated.
The MP further advised women who might be interested in him to be patient, as he is currently too busy for any serious commitment. According to Salasya, his focus is entirely on serving his constituency and fulfilling his responsibilities as an elected leader.
“Naweza kuwaambia tuendelee kuwa wapole, watulivu. Kwa sababu unaweza kunitamani lakini kunipata ndo shida. Kwa sababu I am too busy. Niko na majukumu kwa sasa,” he said.
Salasya on marriage
When asked about his plans to settle down, Salasya noted that he has encouraged young men in his constituency who are ready for marriage to go ahead and tie the knot.
However, Salasya considers himself an exception to this advice due to his demanding workload as a legislator. He explained that the responsibilities tied to his role require his full attention, leaving little room to focus on marriage at the moment. Interestingly, he joked that when the time eventually comes for him to marry, he plans to wed three women, citing the imbalance in the male-to-female population as his reasoning.
“Niliwaambia vijana kwa constituency yangu ambao wametoshea kuuoa, waoe kwa sababu kila mtu lazima akue na majukumu. Mimi peke yake ndiye nimeruhusiwa kutooa katika eneo bunge la Mumias Mashariki kwa sasa kwa sababu nina majukumu mengi. Ikifika huo wakati wa kuoa, nitaoa wanawake watatu maana wanawake ni wengi kushinda wanaume, kwa sai nina majukumu mengi,” Salasya remarked.
Salasya has for a long time made headlines for his high-profile attempts to woo popular Kenyan personalities. His pursuit of socialite Huddah Monroe took a dramatic twist after she rejected his advances, leading to a heated exchange of insults on social media.
In 2022, he declared his interest in content creator Azziad Nasenya, who also turned down his proposal. During a past interview, Salasya opened up about his single status, stating that he prefers a partner who is both ambitious and comfortable with a traditional rural lifestyle.
Recently, the outspoken legislator expressed interest in rising content creator Cera Imani. Taking to social media, Salasya hinted at his admiration for Imani reactions. He posted a photo of her with the caption: “Nikimaliza kujenga nyumba yangu this year, huyu naeza maintain.”
