Alfred Mutua has dashed many ladies' hopes after announcing that he isn't ready to marry anytime soon.

In an interview recently the Machakos governor defended his decision saying that even former president Moi had ruled without a first lady.

"While her appearance at the party got people thinking that we were faking our break-up, we weren’t. We are living our lives. Now, I have been asked whether people should expect another First Lady for Machakos before my term ends. My answer is simple: Moi ruled this country for 24 years without a First Lady."

He also explained why the two had decided to go their separate ways saying,

"Different people are going through different challenges in their relationships, and mine and Lillian’s was not different. The only difference was that we were bold enough to go public about ours." 

And what would happen to the hotel that they had together called A&L (Alfred & Lillian Hotel)? Would he change the name?

"There were concerns about what would happen to the name of the hotel we built together, and which we named A&L Hotel. But why would I change the name now? This is still our hotel. It is our baby. When parents divorce, do they deny their babies the right to use the names on the birth certificates?" he said. 

During the interview he also described meeting Lillian for the first time, saying,

"I remember when and where I met Lillian. It was inside an aeroplane many years ago. And it was love at first sight for both of us. We just connected and went on to share great moments for years. Every day has been special for us and I treasure the memories we have made together."
