I’m straight! Salasya barks at men sending explicit photos in his DMs
By Ascah Mwango, February 21, 2026Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, has issued a warning to men who have been sending him inappropriate photos. The lawmaker took to his X account on Saturday, February 21, 2026, to clarify his stance.
Salasya made it clear that he is straight and does not welcome such messages. He explained that he has been observing celibacy for the past six months and is not interested in receiving unsolicited explicit material.
The MP also expressed his surprise at the messages, noting that some individuals appear to mistake his inbox for a place to share private photos.
“Thanks for coming to my inbox as your 6th president to say hi, but kwa wale wanatuma zao kwa inbox yangu please hamuezi juu mimi ni straight kwanza sahizi niko na dry spell am practising celibacy for 6 months now,” Salasya stated.
Salasya is not the only public figure to face bold approaches from admirers. Recently, media personality Oga Obinna shared a video of a man named Angie openly confessing a crush on him and asking to be his Valentine, promising to care for his children. Obinna responded lightly on social media, warning the man without taking legal action.
“Oga Obinna, that man is so cute. I will be the cutest mother to his children. I will protect him. Oga Obinna, will you be my Valentine?” the man who identifies as Angie said.
“Huyu hata staki loya, munez tafuta huyu ugonge kama burukenge 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ why are you geh,” he wrote.
Similarly, Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, encountered a man who carried a placard in the CBD asking him to be his Valentine. Mosiria later engaged the man in conversation, learning that he is heterosexual, has a girlfriend, and simply wanted advice on improving his life.
“So many people tagged me yesterday about this young man who had made a placard with my name at the Archives. Today, while I was in the CBD on official duty, I found him still standing at the same spot with the same placard and took time to engage him in a conversation,” Mosiria said.
