Mumias East Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Salasya has stirred social media once again, this time after publicly expressing interest in Ruth K, the ex-girlfriend of comedian David Oyando, alias Mulamwah.
In a light-hearted comment on his social media channels, Salasya referred to Mulamwah as his brother and playfully questioned why he had let go of Ruth K. He cheekily urged the comedian to either mend things with his fiancée or give him a direct pass to date her.
Salasya added that there was nothing wrong with stepping in where his fellow tribesman left off, noting that, according to Luhya tradition, the practice of inheritance is culturally accepted.
“Hii kitu safi mbona ndugu yangu aliachilia .In luhya culture inheritance yani okhukalusia iko allowed ..ungesema ndugu salasya wewe ni ndugu yangu na bado uko soko nimekuachia she is so beautiful. Mulamwa turudishe huyu mulamwa ama unipe sitakataa ni kitu shemeji ni mboga,” he said.
However, it is unclear whether the vocal lawmaker was serious or simply joking.
Break-up
On Thursday, April 10, 2025, Mulamwah confirmed his breakup with Ruth K, marking the end of a highly publicised relationship that began in 2021 and culminated in a romantic proposal just weeks ago.
Taking to his social media channels, the comedian in bold uppercase letters said that the decision was mutual.
“Tes, it’s true we have decided to part ways with R.K. It was nice while it lasted,” Mulamwa posted.
The breakup comes as a surprise to many, especially since Mulamwah and Ruth K had only recently celebrated their engagement.
However, the couple might be clout chasing, considering their history with some Kenyan celebrity couples faking their break-up for showbiz purposes.
On February 17, 2025, Ruth took to Instagram to share the joyful news, showing off a glimmering engagement ring surrounded by roses.
“I said yes,” she captioned the post, her excitement palpable in the video and images that followed. Mulamwah echoed the sentiment in his own post, cheekily noting that “cute fingers like hers deserve rings,” alongside heart and kiss emojis.
Salasya on future wife
In September 2024, while outlining the qualities of his future wife, Salasya disclosed that he would be practising polygamy when he settled down.
The comic senior bachelor further attributed his quest for practising polygamy to a beautiful marital life, adding that marrying many wives would prevent him from receiving maltreatment in marriage.
He went on to say that his future wife must be open to polygamy, respectful and open-minded.
“The kind of woman that I would be marrying should be coming with the mind that she will be with others na tulikuwa tumesema mimi Peter Salasya nitaoa bibi watatu. Sasa kama hauko kwa hao watatu na unataka kuwa peke yako, ndio unitese Mimi sitakubali, he disclosed.
“Bibi ambaye hata aangalie kwa simu yangu, aniache tu. Akitaka kuwa peaceful, ni post tu vitu zangu asione vitu. Asikuje kwa DM yangu aangalie oh, because I know myself. I know how to control myself. Aachane tu na mambo yangu asinichunge,” he disclosed.
Apart from being open-minded and respectful, Salasya said he is not into violent women since he can’t raise his voice or hand at a woman.
“I want someone who is not violent; nikiwa nimemkosea afadhali aninyamzie. Asiweke, asianze hiyo, unaelewa? Asikuwe mtu violent. Kama nimekosa somebody, anaweza nikalisha asinipigie kelele, coz niko na pressures mingi huko inje,” he outlined.
“Sasa kwa hao watatu mwenye atakuwa ananipea the coolest environment nitakuwa naenda huko.“
