Nairobi, Kenya – August 19, 2025 – Fresh details have emerged about the dramatic fallout between former Kakamega Governor and current Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya and his much younger girlfriend, Mary Kibeti.

According to multiple sources, the once high-profile relationship collapsed in June 2024, leaving Kibeti struggling to adjust to a more modest lifestyle.

Oparanya, who had reportedly rented Kibeti a posh apartment in Kileleshwa, is said to have cut ties with her, forcing her to relocate to a humbler residence in Syokimau.

Sources further allege that Kibeti, determined to keep up appearances, has been faking her luxury lifestyle while still invoking Oparanya’s name to remain relevant in social circles.

She has also graced several interviews, allegedly pretending the relationship is still intact—despite the pair parting ways more than a year ago.

The affair first drew public attention after intimate photos of Oparanya and Kibeti leaked online, sparking a storm due to their vast age difference. Oparanya later confirmed the relationship, but remained tight-lipped about its collapse.

The revelations now cast a fresh spotlight on the private lives of Kenya’s political elite, where power, wealth, and relationships often intersect.
