Orengos daughter gets hitched

Siaya Senator James Orengo’s homestead in Ramunde, Ugenya Constituency on Saturday afternoon was the site of a traditional wedding between his daughter Lavender Orengo and her fiancé Hanington Muisyo Mutua.

Mr Mutua had traveled to Nyanza to present dowry to the Orengo family for their daughter Lavender, which also marked their traditional wedding ceremony.

The intermarriage ceremony between the two, who hail from different ethnic communities, was applauded by many; including Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama who urged Kenyans to embrace intermarriage in order to help subdue tribalism.

The guests lit up the well-attended event with their colourful outfits as they feasted on the food and drinks provided.

Gem legislator Jakoyo Midiwo, who has been on the limelight for publicly expressing his differences with Siaya Governor Cornel Rasanga, called for integration among community members citing the union between Orengo’s daughter and Hanington as an indicator of unity to emulate.

James Orengo echoed Jakoyo’s sentiments, calling on leaders of all levels of government to embrace unity.

He also encouraged his daughter Lavender, and fiancé Mutua to ensure they remain close friends throughout their union.
