Saturday, May 17, 2025 - Raila Odinga’s former chief agent Saitabao Ole Kanchory reportedly had an affair with nominated Senator Hezena Lemaletian that led to the collapse of his marriage.
According to outspoken blogger Aoko Otieno, the once-influential lawyer and
political strategist was “swimming in money” during the last election, when the
state funded Raila’s presidential bid.
Instead of channeling the funds to where they were most
needed, such as paying grassroots agents, Kanchory used the money to bankroll
Hezena’s opulent lifestyle.
Aoko alleges that Kanchory not only financed Lemaletian’s
lifestyle but also played
a key role in lobbying for her nomination to the Senate.
But the romance didn’t last.
After the campaigns ended, Kanchory reportedly went broke.
He
was forced to shut down his law firm along Ngong Road after
running into severe financial trouble
His residential
property was also auctioned after failing to repay a loan.
Hezena is said to have dumped Kanchory after cash dried up.
It’s said that Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina stepped in to mediate and helped broker a reconciliation between Kanchory and his estranged wife, after the fallout with Lemaletian.

I want to state that all these nominations of women to fill the quotas in the name of affirmative action should be abolished. Mostly I have not come across a woman fully nominated for being the best qualified or the most suitable candidate. When you hear/read stories of most nominees, it would be because they were a girl friend of/in a relationship with a very powerful man. I heard the story of the MCA who sonko nominated for Ken Okoth late mp for Kibera, hebu sikiza hii stori ya Lemeletian alikuwa girlfriend wa Kanchory.The script seems to be repeating itself all over the nominated positions.!!! I don't know how will women extracticate themselves from such situations ??? Please women respond to me on this question and let's make suggestions of how affirmative action can be done honorably without the use of the flesh and money and power so that nominations can be done equitably???!!!
ReplyDeleteThe problem we have in this country is the political system itself. The fact that we were convinced that politicians represent us is the biggest scam I've ever seen. The fact is majority of the women leaders you see in Kenya are either wife/lover/relative of a current or former politician. They use their gender to hoodwink their fellow females to believe that they are there to fight for them while in truth they are the same if not worse than their male counterparts. Trying to point out this fact you will be surrounded and attacked and they will call you out for attacking a woman.
