Millie Odhiambo, the Suba North Member of Parliament, has said that politics can make people do things they never thought they would do before.She used a funny example recently when she talked about what she called “Wheee siasa.”
According to her, politics can push people into new places and new actions that are not normal for them.Millie was talking about a recent event in Meru where Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi was seen dancing.
The video of him dancing went viral on social media, and many Kenyans are talking about it everywhere. People were surprised to see Matiangi, who is normally serious and always busy with work, dancing in public.
Millie Odhiambo used this moment to make a point about politics. She said that sometimes political life can make leaders show sides of themselves that the public rarely sees.
“Wheee siasa can make people walk in unfamiliar territory,” she said. She meant that politics can push people to act differently just to connect with the people or show a lighter side of themselves.
Many Kenyans have shared the video and commented on it. Some find it funny and entertaining to see Matiangi dance, while others were shocked because they are used to seeing him serious and strict.The reactions show how politics can change the way leaders behave in public.
Millie also said that this shows leaders sometimes need to step out of their comfort zones to connect with citizens. Dancing in public, attending local events, and joining communities are ways politicians can show they are part of the people’s lives.
In the end, the Meru dancing incident has given Kenyans a chance to see a different side of Matiangi. It has also reminded politicians that politics can sometimes make them do unexpected things.
As Millie Odhiambo said, “Wheee siasa can make people walk in unfamiliar territory,” and this is exactly what happened with Matiangi in Meru.
