Speaking to The Nairobian, Felix Kiprono said his
dream is to marry one of Obama’s daughters, Malia (above) , and he is ready to
meet Obama to discuss the matter when he visits Kenya in July.
This is not the first time Kiprono is making
headlines; he hit the headlines in October last year when he filed a case
seeking to have Deputy President William Ruto sworn in as president when
President Uhuru Kenyatta travelled to The Hague for the hearing of his case at
the ICC.
He said he has never dated anyone since he got
interested in Malia in 2008 and even went ahead to inform his family members,
who said they are willing to help him raise the bride price, should the Obamas
agree to his offer.
Kiprono said he is writing a letter to Obama, asking
him to be accompanied by Malia when he visits Kenya to prove his seriousness
over the matter.
He said the letter will be handed over to the US
ambassador to Kenya and hopes it will be delivered to Obama.
This is not the first time a Kenyan man has declared
interest in marrying from the United States’ first family.
In 2002, Godwin Kipkemoi, also offered 40 goats and
20 cows to marry Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of the then US President Bill
Clinton.
He wrote a letter to Bill Clinton through Kenya’s
foreign minister to have Chelsea’s hand in marriage.
Kipkemio gave up on the long wait for a response
from the Clintons and got married to his college mate in 2006.
He never lived to see his dream of marrying Chelsea
come true as he was killed by a stray elephant in 2014.
