Boni Khalwale introduces his remaining wives
Speaking candidly to those in attendance, Khalwale acknowledged that not all of his children had made it to the funeral, apologising for the delay before presenting the two women who now form the core of his household.
"Sorry, my children took long. I'm standing with my family. Not all of my children came here today. My remaining wives are Diana Maragwa Khalwale and Josphine Omina Khalwale, who is now the head taking care of the family," he said.
The senator did not shy away from the spotlight, reflecting openly on his life as a man with a large family, stating that despite his big household, he had lived a humble life.
The frank, unapologetic tone resonated strongly with those present.
Khalwale's remarks took a playful political turn when he directed a comment at Sifuna, who had recently been in the news after his modest home in Bungoma attracted public commentary.
Without missing a beat, Khalwale suggested the presidential contender could learn something from the way he manages his family affairs.
Beyond the gentle ribbing, Khalwale showed genuine solidarity with Sifuna, encouraging him to remain strong in his political ambitions and reaffirming his own support for Sifuna's presidential bid.
He also publicly confirmed that Sifuna had contributed KSh 500,000 towards the funeral costs, a gesture Khalwale credited with helping get the burial arrangements off the ground.
The moment was a striking blend of grief, humour, and politics, all delivered with the kind of unfiltered confidence that has long defined Khalwale's public persona.
For many watching, it was a reminder that in Kenyan public life, even a funeral can become a stage for personal expression and political camaraderie.
