He grabbed his chance at fame saying he has every intention to make sure that Obama’s bloodline remains in one of the worlds beautiful countries Kenya, where the president has his roots.
Kiprono has offered to part with 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats to marry Barack Obama’s 16-year-old daughter Malia in Kenya.
He told Daily Nation online that offer is only a booking offer for the first family since Malia is still a minor. Once Malia reaches age of maturity then she is the one who will decide whether to accept the offer or not. ”So i will wait and try my luck, ” he added.
Kiprono, is pursuing a master’s degree in law at Oxford University in the UK. He says he is willing to meet President Obama when he comes to Kenya later in July if he is allowed.
The young lawyer says his offer is a way to show the richness of his Kalenjin tribe’s customary law. (Kalenjin tribe is One of Kenya’s tribes from the Rift valley region)
Kiprono says the idea for him to marry Obama’s daughter came from his clan that offered to pay the dowry if the presidents family allows him. He also says his dowry is ready anytime.
