Ex Governor Oparanya Responds After Viral Photos With Beautiful Woman: "They're Genuine"

• Wycliffe Oparanya slammed netizens circulating his photos with a woman identified as Mary Biketi
• Lovey-dovey photos of the former Kakamega governor and the beautiful woman elicited mixed reactions, with many asking him to clarify if she was one of his wives
• Oparanya wondered why people were so interested in leaking private photos, denying rumours he was hospitalised

Former Kakamega governor Wycliffe Opaanya has finally addressed rumours claiming he married another woman.

How many wives does Oparanya have?

Oparanya has two wives, who are known publicly, and rumour has it that he has more.

Beautiful photos of Oparanya and a woman identified as Mary Biketi have been circulating on social media, forcing the veteran Luhya politician to speak.

Oparanya, who is currently in Mombasa, said the photos were genuine and wondered why someone would leak them to the public.

"I have seen someone circulating genuine photos. I don't know why someone would waste time circulating them. It is very unfortunate that wherever I took those photos they leaked them to the press. Those are very decent photos and I don't know the interest that people have when you have taken photos with a loved one," he said.

The politician also denied being hospitalised, slamming those spreading rumours.

"...And there is now fake news I am in hospital, I am sick and here I am. I have a big family to protect. Those sending out fake news should stop," he said.

A day ago, after their photos together circulated, Mary shared a photo posing with Oparanya, leaving netizens with mixed reactions.

Reacting to Oparanya's statement, here is what netizens had to say:

Fredrick Mundia said:

"You are the next Chair of the Men's Conference."

Keta Alvin said:

"This reminds me of our 3rd president when he had to do a presser at some point."

Eunice Akinyi said:
