Why you need a wife to serve as Member of Parliament in Kenya

A recent viral video clip in which Lurambi MP Titus Khamala is seen chiding ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna over his marital status has rekindled debate on the place of marriage in elective politics. Sifuna was roasted for his frequent attacks on, among others, Amani leader Musalia Mudavadi yet he is, allegedly, yet to erect a rural ‘simba’.

In the clip, a hilarious Khamala, who is also the Presiding Bishop of the Cornerstone Church, also wonders whether Sifuna has a jiko going by how he’s often in the interwebs attacking rivals of former opposition leader Raila Odinga at some devil hour.
