Wycliffe Oparanya, the Cabinet Secretary for Cooperatives and MSMEs, recently marked another year of life, and his partner ensured it was a memorable occasion. His girlfriend, Mary Biketi, expressed her affection in a heartfelt manner, sharing a tender moment captured in a video where she adjusted his collar during a photoshoot.
To commemorate the special day, Biketi took to social media to post a touching, undated video of the couple sharing a close moment. She was seen adjusting Oparanya’s collar while he confidently posed for the camera. Dressed in an elegant green knee-length dress, Biketi complemented his refined look, which included a light blue formal shirt and trousers.
Accompanying the video, she penned a loving message, expressing gratitude and admiration: “Yesterday we celebrated the most wonderful man in our lives. Thank you so much for taking good care of us and the family at large. May God bless you and may you live long.”
Their relationship has been a topic of public interest ever since their photos first emerged online, drawing significant attention and discussions. The revelation came as a surprise to many, as the former Kakamega governor was primarily known for having two wives, with no prior public mention of Biketi’s involvement.
Following the circulation of the images, Oparanya confirmed their authenticity but questioned the motives behind their release. Biketi, on the other hand, acknowledged the mixed reactions but stated that she was content in the relationship, emphasizing that Oparanya is openly polygamous. She also hinted at the possibility of taking legal action against those responsible for making the images public, underscoring her commitment to protecting their privacy.
The display of affection and celebration sparked numerous reactions, with many admiring their bond and extending birthday wishes to Oparanya. Social media was flooded with comments from well-wishers, expressing their joy and admiration for the couple.
Some of the messages included:
- “Happy birthday to the Waziri. And Mary Biketi, you are doing a good job, girl.”
- “This is exactly how we should all be treated.”
- “The more reason I need to make more money. Happy birthday to Mhesh.”
- “When I grow old, I want to live my life like this. Mary Biketi, thank you for adding more years to Mhesh’s life. This is the true joy of life.”
- “Thanks for lovingly taking care of Mzee. That is how life should be.”
- “Happy Birthday to our best governor ever.”
- “Looking good, ma’am, and happy birthday Mhesh.”
- “Happy birthday to him. When I grow up, I will be like Ombetsa.”
