His dream is to marry one of Obama’s daughters, Malia,
and is ready to pay 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats as
bride price.
Speaking to The Nairobian, Kiprono, who hit the headlines
when he moved to court seeking to have William Ruto
sworn in as president when Uhuru travelled to The Hague
for his ICC case, said he is ready to meet Obama to discuss
the matter when the US president visits in July. “I got
interested in her in 2008.
As a matter of fact, I haven’t dated anyone since and
promise to be faithful to her. I have shared this with my
family and they are willing to help me raise the bride price,”
he said. The young lawyer claims his love for Malia is real
and not infatuation. He claims Malia has Kenyan blood
since his father Obama has Kenyan roots. “People might
say I am after the family’s money, which is not the case.
My love is real,” he said, adding that, “I am currently
drafting a letter to Obama asking him to please have Malia
accompany him for this trip. I hope the embassy will pass
the letter to him. I will hand it over to the US Ambassador
with whom we have interacted several times.”
The lawyer said that should Obama accept his request, his
engagement to the ‘love of his life’ will be “unique with a
twist.” See also: The Kenyan women who are married but
are addicted to girly touch of fellow women “If my request
is granted, I will not resort to the cliché of popping
champagne. Instead, I will surprise her with mursik, the
traditional Kalenjin sour milk. As an indication that she is
my queen, I will tie sinendet, which is a sacred plant,
around her head,” he said. Kiprono adds that he will avoid
expensive hotels in the city. “I will propose to her on a
popular hill in Bureti near my father’s land where leaders
and warriors are usually crowned. The place is called
Kapkatet, which means ‘victory’,adding, “ours will be a
simple life. I will teach Malia how to milk a cow, cook ugali
and prepare mursik like any other Kalenjin woman,” he
said. [hupso]
