A man has publicly claimed to be the biological father of Mumias East MP Peter Salasya, appealing for a reunion in a viral video. He alleges separation from Salasya’s mother when the MP was just three months old.

• The man, who says he hails from Busia’s Marachi estate, claims to have been wealthy in his youth, involved in “magendo” (smuggling).
• He attributes the separation to Salasya’s mother's "tough-headed" nature and seeks a face-to-face meeting with his "son, the MP."
• As of publication, Peter Salasya has not commented on the claims.
