A video of Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale openly naming his spouses and children has gone viral on social media after he announced the passing of his third wife, Gloria Khalwale, on August 15, 2026.

In the footage, recorded during a public event, Khalwale systematically identifies his four wives and the children he has with each.
