Mwanamke si samaki: Raila Junior advises Isaya Yunge on how to treat Charlene Ruto

Raila Odinga Junior has shared a heartfelt message to the newlyweds Isaya Yunge and Charlene Ruto, offering the groom advice on how to treat his wife as he congratulated the couple on their marriage.

Junior shared a video message congratulating the couple while in Tanzania, where he celebrated their union and wished them a happy married life.

In the message, he used a Swahili expression to remind Isaya about the importance of treating his wife with respect, dignity and care.

“Kwa ndugu yangu Isaya, kumbuka: mwanamke si samaki wa kuanikwa juani, wala si ua la kuvurugwa!” Raila Junior said.

Loosely translated, Junior urged Isaya not to expose, embarrass or handle his wife carelessly, comparing a woman to neither fish to be left drying in the sun nor a flower to be mishandled.

His choice of words drew attention to his advice, which centred on protecting and honouring one’s partner in marriage.

Beyond the advice, Junior extended his congratulations to the newlyweds, wishing them God’s blessings as they began their journey together.

“From Mama Yvonne and myself, once again to the newlyweds, Mr and Mrs Yunge. May God bless your marriage with love, wisdom, happiness and a lifetime of beautiful memories. Kwa ndugu yangu Isaya, mahaba yake hazina,” he wrote.

His message was accompanied by warm wishes for the couple, with Junior celebrating their union and expressing hope that their marriage would be filled with love and happiness.

The message added to the congratulatory messages shared following the wedding of Charlene, the daughter of President William Ruto, and Isaya Yunge.

Charlene Ruto and Isaya Yunge exchanged vows in a white wedding ceremony held on Friday, November 6, 2026, at Malaika Beach Hotel in Mwanza, Tanzania.

The star-studded celebration brought together family members, friends and prominent guests who joined the couple in marking their union.

Charlene, the daughter of President William Ruto, married Tanzanian tech entrepreneur Isaya Yunge in a ceremony decorated with pink flowers.

Among those who attended was Raila Junior, who was accompanied by his wife, Mama Yvonne. His mother, Ida Odinga, was also present and appeared amused by his fluent Kiswahili as he delivered his congratulatory message to the newlyweds.
