Former Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba is living life beyond Kenyan politics, enjoying some well-deserved time off following a reshuffle in July that saw him lose his position as Sports Cabinet Secretary. Since then, Namwamba has been traveling the world, soaking in new cultures, cuisines, and most importantly, spending quality time with his family.
In a heartwarming update on his social media, the former CS shared a delightful video of a recent vacation in the desert with his son and lover. The video captured a proud moment where Namwamba’s son took the wheel, showcasing his impressive driving skills as he chauffeured his dad and lover on a scenic drive. The proud father, sitting in the passenger seat, showered his son with praise, calling him “The champ home and away,” as they cruised through the vast desert.
Namhwamba’s break from the political spotlight has been rejuvenating. In a post on Instagram, he expressed how much he was enjoying a “pressureless” life, sharing photos of himself in safari gear and a tuxedo, reflecting the carefree atmosphere of his current journey. “Sabbatical done me goodie goodie,” he wrote, celebrating his time away from the demands of his former political role.
The politician’s son, who appears to be growing up quickly, has shown that he’s ready to take on new challenges. Namwamba’s recent posts highlight the bond between him and his children, as he continues to nurture them for the greatness that lies ahead. His break from politics has given him the space to focus on family, and it’s clear from his posts that he’s cherishing these moments.
Despite the shift in his professional life, Ababu Namwamba’s love for his family and the simple pleasures of life remains a central part of his journey, away from the pressures of his former Cabinet role. As he enjoys these peaceful moments, it seems that the former CS is in a new chapter—one that emphasizes family, relaxation, and the joy of living without the constraints of politics.
