Kenyans were left talking on Tuesday after newly elected Kasipul Constituency Member of Parliament, Hon. Boyd Were, arrived in Parliament accompanied by his two mothers during his swearing-in ceremony.
The MP, who takes over from his late father, the former MP Ong’ondo Were, drew widespread attention as images and videos of the emotional moment circulated online.
Boyd Were, elected on a platform of unity and continuity, walked into the chambers flanked by his biological mother and stepmother — both of whom played significant roles in his upbringing.
Their presence was widely interpreted by Kenyans as a powerful symbol of family harmony and mutual respect despite the challenges the family has faced.

Social media was flooded with praise, with many commending the MP for honoring both mothers publicly.
Kenyans described the moment as touching, rare, and a positive example for leaders across the country. For many, it marked a new beginning for Kasipul Constituency under a leader embracing unity from the start.
