President William Ruto and Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya have shared several light-hearted interactions that have captured public attention.
One notable instance occurred on March 20, 2024, during the Kakamega County International Investment Conference.
As President Ruto greeted leaders, he playfully remarked to MP Salasya, “Mbona haujachana nywele?” which translates to “Why haven’t you combed your hair?” Salasya responded humorously, “Ukisema nitachanua,” meaning “If you say so, I will comb it,” prompting laughter from the crowd.
In another instance, President Ruto offered to assist MP Salasya with dowry negotiations, suggesting that the young legislator might not be “well established” due to the absence of a wife to keep him on his toes.
This playful comment was made during a political event in Western Kenya, where the President humorously stated, “I can see you are not well established, so whenever you find a girl, I will pay for the dowry.”
These interactions highlight the camaraderie and mutual respect between President Ruto and MP Salasya, showcasing their ability to engage in light-hearted banter while maintaining a professional relationship.
Such moments not only entertain but also humanize political figures, making them more relatable to the public.
