The word is commonly used as a term of endearment by couple in Kenya.
Speaking in an interview with Jalang'o on Wednesday, August 25, he reiterated that the two were still friends.
“We agreed with Lilian not to address our issues in public. All I want to say is this, once you have given your life to somebody for a long time, it behoves you to focus on the positive elements of your time together rather than any small problems you might have had.

“It is very important in relationships that you respect each other when you are together or not together and to leave room for reconciliation and friendliness so that even if you’re with other partners you can still remain friends and work together,” he said.
Governor Mutua also stated that his phone has been buzzing since the announcement about his separation from his ex-wife.
The Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader said that he had been receiving many messages on his phone, some of them being body parts.
In a message to those who have reached out to him, he expressed gratitude to the comforting DMs and those encouraging him.

Speaking about his ex-wife’s presence at his birthday party at Emara Ole Sereni, Mutua said she had encouraged him to hold the event.
