Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Kalerwa Salasya, has urged women who have been expressing their admiration for him on social media to be patient.
Speaking during an interview on the Gidi na Ghost morning show on Radio Jambo, the young politician made it clear that he is currently unavailable to women.
Salasya emphasized that he is busy with his parliamentary duties and stated that he is in no rush to find a romantic partner.
“I want to tell them to remain calm and patient. You might desire me, but actually getting me is where the challenge lies,” Salasya said.
The humorous MP hinted that he has big political ambitions, such as becoming the President of Kenya, and therefore has no time for relationships at the moment.
“I am very busy. Sometimes I am in Nairobi, other times I am at home. I am always on the move, traveling from one place to another to organize things for the people of Mumias East. This is because I want to become the President of Kenya. That’s why I aim to be the number one hardworking MP in Kenya,” he said.
Salasya made it clear that he is not ready to get married at the moment, explaining that he is currently focused on serving his constituents.
However, he claimed that he has encouraged young people in Mumias East to marry in order to reduce promiscuity and crime in the area.
“Marriage is a matter for God. I told the people of Mumias East that all young people who have reached the age of marriage should marry because everyone in the constituency must have responsibilities. The troublemakers are usually those who are not married,” Salasya said.
For the first time, the MP suggested that getting married now could distract him from his primary duty of serving the Mumias East constituency.
“That’s why I said that, for now, I am the only one allowed in my constituency not to marry. This is because I have a lot of work to do. I am an MP who found my people in a very bad state, and I must fix all those issues,” he said.
“If I get involved with women, or even marry, I will lose focus. I have said that I must first organize the constituency, ensure children go to school, build schools, roads, bridges, and everything else,” he added.
However, Salasya revealed that he plans to marry at least three wives in the future.
