South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro has shared a humorous family moment after hearing chants directed at him during opposition rallies in the Gusii region earlier this week.
According to Osoro, while his driver was picking up his children from school on Monday, he played clips from the Gusii United opposition rallies, which included taunts referencing the MP.
One of the chants, “Osoro n’enyuma,” left his 14- and 11-year-old sons curious and slightly embarrassed.
“My kids asked me what it meant, and I told them exactly what it is. They were a little embarrassed, but I laughed it off,” Osoro recounted.
He used the moment to teach his children a lesson about democracy and self-respect. “I told them that this is the spirit of democracy and they should never be ashamed of any body part God has blessed them with—better still, one that everybody has and cannot do without,” he said.
The discussion quickly turned to the rally leaders.
“Then came a second question: who are these other men leading the choirs with microphones? I told them those men want to be presidents,” Osoro explained.
He described an hour-long conversation filled with laughter, curiosity, and joy as he guided his children through the context of political rallies and chants.
The MP also took the opportunity to teach his spouse some Ekegusii phrases in a light-hearted family lesson.
“I told her to continue today’s lesson by saying, ‘Osoro n’enyuma,’ and she laughed,” he said.
Osoro’s anecdote highlights the lighter side of politics in Kisii, showing how families navigate and interpret the often sharp rhetoric of campaign seasons.
Despite the pointed nature of opposition rallies, the MP chose to turn the experience into a teaching moment about democracy, respect, and humor.
