Mumias East Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Salasya has given a glimpse of the mansion he is constructing in his village.
The lawmaker in a video shared via his official Instagram account showed the progress of the project whose foundation is almost done.
Salasya also encouraged Kenyans to always remember to build a house for themselves, however small it would be.
The controversial lawmaker went ahead to state that he has never travelled the world but once he is done with the construction, he would find a woman to date and take her to Europe.
“Sijai fika Europe country in my life, I believe God willing nikimaliza hii mjengo yangu, atleast nikianza ku date dem nitampelekako ata Russia one day. I have never travelled on my own outside Africa apart from Dubai, for now wacha nifanyie watu wangu wa Mumias East kazi na nimalize hiii mjengo home. West East or North South wherever, but home is always the best. Let us always remember to build at home ata kaa ni ya matope ama semi permanent but let us remember it’s very important one day itakuokolea,” Salasya stated.
Salasya’s mansion plan
In October 2024, Salasya revealed his ambitious plans to build a grand mansion in his rural home in Kisumu Ndogo, Mumias East Sub-County, Kakamega County.
Salasya on Sunday, October 6, 2024, took to his official Instagram account to flaunt stunning images of the mansion plan, which he said he would build to shame his political opponents who really criticised him during the 2022 political campaigns.
The lawmaker said he would use his mortgage to put up the multi-million mansion.
The youthful lawmaker further stated that he had decided to put up the mansion in his rural home because he would dwell in the village to pursue agriculture after quitting politics.
“I have decided to build this house through my mortgage at my home village of Kisumu Ndogo of Mumias East just because when I leave politics I will stay in my village, nikifanya agriculture,” Salasya stated.
During his 2022 political campaigns, Salasya said he faced harsh criticism from opponents who mocked his living situation, claiming he lived ‘like a bird in a culvert.’
“I am doing this to shame my opponents who insulted me during campaigns that I live like a bird that stays in a culvert. And to write a history that no one is limited ni kujituma na kuweka God mbele for His counsel, and also after getting it, I have never wronged Him by not serving the people He gave me to lead. Blessed Sunday,” Salasya wrote on Instagram.
