Mosiria has publicly cautioned Mumias East MP Peter Salasia over what he termed as misplaced intentions regarding the trending figure Marion Naipei, urging him to focus on supporting her education rather than entertaining romantic interests. His remarks, delivered partly in Swahili, quickly sparked conversation across social media platforms.
According to Mosiria, he shared Marion’s contact details with Salasia strictly to facilitate educational assistance, not personal relationships. “Peter Salasia nimekutumia number ya Marion, lakini sitaki mambo ya mapenzi,” he stated, emphasizing that the goal was to help her access a bursary and continue her studies. He added pointedly, “Mpee bursary asomee, mapenzi ni mbinguni,” underscoring that love matters should not interfere with opportunities meant to uplift her future.
The statement comes amid heightened public attention surrounding Marion, with several public figures expressing interest in offering support. Mosiria’s warning reflects growing concern about boundaries when influential leaders step in to assist vulnerable or trending individuals, particularly young women whose situations attract national attention.
By framing education as the priority, Mosiria positioned himself as advocating for empowerment through learning rather than publicity or personal gain. His remarks suggest that public goodwill should translate into tangible support such as school fees, mentorship, and long-term opportunities, not distractions that could derail progress.
The exchange has ignited mixed reactions online, with some praising Mosiria for setting clear limits and protecting Marion’s interests, while others questioned whether such matters should be discussed publicly at all. Still, the message resonated with many Kenyans who believe that education remains the most sustainable form of empowerment.
As the debate continues, attention now turns to whether concrete support, such as a bursary, will materialize. For many observers, the incident serves as a reminder that assistance offered in the public eye should remain respectful, purposeful, and focused on improving lives rather than fueling controversy.
