Inside Speaker Moses Wetangula’s Luxurious Life and Elegant Karen Home

Moses Wetangula is the current Speaker of the National Assembly of Kenya, a position he assumed after his election on September 8, 2022. 

He is widely regarded as one of Kenya’s most seasoned politicians, having spent more than three decades in active politics.

Popularly known by his nickname “Papa wa Roma,” Wetangula began his political journey in the early 1990s when he was nominated by KANU in 1992. 

He later served as the Member of Parliament for Sirisia between 2003 and 2013 before going on to represent Bungoma County as Senator from 2013 to 2022. 

Over the years, he has held several high-profile government positions, including Minister for Trade and Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Academically, Wetangula attended Nalondo Primary School before proceeding to Teremi Secondary School and later Friends School Kamusinga for his A-Level studies. He then joined the University of Nairobi, where he earned a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree.

Despite his long public career, Wetangula has largely kept his private life away from the media spotlight. However, in 2021, he offered Kenyans a rare glimpse into his elegant residence located in Karen, one of Nairobi’s most exclusive and affluent neighborhoods.

The home features a refined transitional design that blends modern and classic architectural elements. 

Large windows dominate the living space, allowing ample natural light to flow in, while a fireplace adds warmth and character to the room. 

The high ceiling is finished with neatly arranged brown wooden panels that perfectly complement the soft beige walls, creating a calm and luxurious atmosphere.

Karen is widely known for its expansive greenery, high-end estates, and elite residents. Wetangula’s residence fits seamlessly into this setting, reflecting the suburb’s reputation for luxury and exclusivity often associated with Kenya’s wealthy and influential figures.

The Speaker’s home stands as a reflection of his long political journey, success, and preference for a quiet yet upscale lifestyle away from daily political noise.
