Wycliffe Oparanya, the former Kakamega governor and newly appointed Cabinet Secretary for Co-operatives and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Development, celebrated his swearing-in on August 8, 2024, surrounded by his family. A proud polygamist, Oparanya attended the ceremony with his first wife, Priscilla, and four of their children, who garnered attention from the public.
The family, dressed stylishly for the occasion, posed for a memorable photo with President William Ruto at State House, Nairobi. Oparanya’s children, including Oparanya Junior, Vanessa, and Brandon, shared their joy on social media, congratulating their father on his new role.
Oparanya is known for his openness about his polygamous lifestyle. He is married to Priscilla and Carol, and he recently revealed that he also has a girlfriend. Oparanya credits his late mother for encouraging him to have a large family, a value he proudly upholds.
The event was marked by admiration from Kenyans, who praised the family's unity and style. Although some were curious about the absence of Oparanya’s girlfriend, the focus remained on the strong presence and support of his first wife and children during this significant moment in his political career
