Kisii South Member of Parliament Silvanus Osoro has shared intimate details about his family during a recent podcast interview. The MP revealed he is a father to seven children, five with his wife of 17 years and two born outside his marriage.
Osoro, who married in 2009, emphasized that his wife is fully aware of the two children from outside their union. He chooses to keep his wife’s identity private, shielding her from public scrutiny.
Marriage Principles That Keep the Family United
Osoro attributed the stability of his marriage to several personal rules and habits, including a firm commitment to always sleep at home. He explained that even when traveling for work, he prioritizes returning home rather than staying elsewhere.
- He aims to be home by 10 PM daily.
- Prefers meals cooked at home over dining out.
- Attends church every Sunday as a family.
- Keeps disagreements private, resolving conflicts quietly without raising his voice or involving their children.
He stressed the importance of protecting his family from public exposure, citing how public scrutiny can attack the institution of marriage, especially for public figures.
Public Reaction
The candid revelations sparked diverse reactions online, with some praising his family values and others questioning his lifestyle choices. Comments ranged from admiration for his commitment to family to skepticism about his disclosure.
Osoro’s openness offers a rare glimpse into how a Kenyan politician balances personal complexities with public responsibilities.
