Friday, February 27, 2026 - National
Assembly Speaker, Moses
Wetang’ula, is one
of Kenya’s most prominent openly polygamous public figures.
But in 2018, his private life burst into the national
spotlight when one of his wives, Ann Waceke, became the centre of a headline‑making
domestic dispute.
According to a report
he filed at Lang’ata Police Station, Wetang’ula accused Ann of assaulting him
at their Karen home after he confronted her over an alleged affair with a
Congolese man living in Nairobi.
The unusual nature of the incident - a powerful male politician reporting
domestic violence -
instantly set social media ablaze.
Kenyans on social media did what they do best and turned the incident into meme
fodder with Wetang’ula becoming an unexpected punchline in the national
conversation.
The saga even spilled into the political arena.
During a period when William Ruto and Wetang’ula were on
opposing sides, Ruto -
then serving as Deputy President - famously threw a jab during a public rally, referring to him as
“yule
jamaa wa kuchapwa na bibi.”
Below are rare photos of Ann, who is rarely seen in public alongside Wetangula.
