National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula’s daughter, Tamara Wetang’ula, on Friday, April 4, 2025, dazzled in a green-themed pre-wedding ceremony with her lover Antony Njoroge.
The ceremony, which happened in Kanduyi, Bungoma County, at the lush home of the National Assembly speaker, brought together dignitaries, including Environment Cabinet Secretary Debora Barasa.
“I joined the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetang’ula, and the family in his daughter’s pre-marriage ceremony of Tamara Wetangula to Antony Njoroge. Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord. Wishing you a happy engagement and a lovely, bright future,” CS Barasa said.
Civil engineer
Tamara is a civil engineer just like her brother Alvin Habwe Wetang’ula, who is a board member of the Kenya Railways.
Habwe, a distinguished civil engineer with over 12 years of experience, studied at the University of Nairobi.
“Alvin’s experience includes overseeing a diverse portfolio of projects encompassing road works, building works, street lighting, and water works. His expertise as a consultant further broadens his scope of influence within the civil engineering industry, where he continues to provide valuable insights in road design and construction, project costing, budget formulation, and structural design,” his description at the Kenya Railways website reads.
Wetang’ula’s children
Also, in December 2023, the speaker’s other son, Eugene Wetang’ula, graduated with a PhD in Juridical Science from Monash University in Australia.
At the time, Wetang’ula encouraged Kenyans to embrace higher education, noting that it could elevate the country’s status on the international scene.
“Education is the key to success and the path to many opportunities that life has to offer. Higher education opens our minds to broader horizons and makes us competitive globally,” Wetangula said on X.
“Today, my family and I had the honour to witness my son, Dr. Eugene Wetangula, get conferred with a PhD in Juridical Science from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.”
Adding: “I encourage every Kenyan, especially the youth, to prioritize the pursuit of knowledge to the highest levels. An educated country is a rich country. Congratulations, Dr. Eugene Wetang’ula!”
Wetang’ula has several other children with his other wives.
The 69-year-old politician, who cut his political teeth through a nomination after the 1992 general elections, vied in 2002 and has never lost an election to date.
He has held several senior positions in government, including being a cabinet minister, chairman of the Electricity Regulatory Board (ERB), and senate minority leader, among other roles.
