Suba North Member of Parliament (MP) Millie Odhiambo has humorously responded to veteran politician Oburu Oginga’s confession that he once secretly admired her.
Speaking during a public event in Ugunja on Saturday, November 8, 2025, the outspoken legislator joked that Oburu should have expressed his feelings earlier, teasing that she might have become “the spouse of a party leader” had he done so.
“I have heard that the ‘youth leader’ confessed that he used to admire me. I can’t believe he just kept looking at a beautiful girl like me silently until a Zimbabwean man made away with me,” Millie said in her local dialect, drawing laughter from the crowd.

Millie, who is married to Zimbabwean national Mabona, playfully added that Oburu’s silence cost him the opportunity. “Now that he is the party leader, I would have been in a good place. But it has not escaped me,” she remarked.
Her comments came shortly after Oburu Oginga, elder brother to ODM leader Raila Odinga, made the lighthearted revelation during the burial of Rose Otieno, the widow of the late senator Otieno Kajwang’, in Nyanza.
During his speech, Oburu reminisced about meeting Millie for the first time during ODM campaign activities. “I knew Millie Gesa Gesa through Kajwang’. She impressed me with her organizational skills — she had arranged everything for our campaign tour. She was so beautiful that sometimes she confused me,” Oburu confessed, sending mourners into laughter.
The exchange between the two ODM politicians has since stirred amusement on social media, with Kenyans praising their sense of humor and camaraderie in an otherwise heated political climate.
