Former Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya says his mother influenced him to have a large family disclosing that he has two wives and a girlfriend.
In an interview on KTN’s ‘Art of Living’ with host Nailantei Kenga, Oparanya candidly shared insights into his personal life, detailing how he navigates the complexities of his polygamous relationships.
The former governor spoke about his approach to handling marital issues and his openness about his relationship with his new girlfriend, despite already having two wives.
Oparanya explained his upbringing and the influence of his mother’s advice on having a large family.
“I was born alone. Actually, we were born five of us, and I became the only one surviving. When I grew up, my mother told me to have more children so that we congregate; that’s why I am very sincere,” he shared.
He continued, “People here know that when I say something, it’s happening. I don’t cheat.” Oparanya’s commitment to honesty extends to his relationships with his two wives and girlfriend.
The former governor further revealed that his girlfriend even visits and his wives have no problem with it.
“I have two wives and a girlfriend. They are friends, and sometimes my girlfriend comes here to say hi to my wife. My wife can’t complain because I take good care of her every day,” revealed Oparanya.
During the interview, Oparanya gave viewers a tour of his expansive home in Kakamega, showcasing the transformation it has undergone from his parents’ residence to a modern, well-maintained estate.

The former governor also shared his parents’ final resting place, revealing his wish to be buried close to them.
The Butere home is equipped with a chopper landing area and space to host over 3000 guests.
Oparanya’s girlfriend, Mary Biketi, also shared her perspective on their relationship in a previous interview.
Biketi emphasized that she considers herself Oparanya’s companion and a wife.
“I am not afraid. He is a polygamous man, and I respect the other wives,” she stated in a previous interview.
Biketi clarified misconceptions about their relationship, explaining that her reference to Oparanya as ‘daddy’ led some to mistakenly assume she was his daughter.
