Love-struck Kenyan awaiting Clinton's nod to marry Chelsea

NAIROBI (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton, who was visiting Kenya, will probably never hear about it but he's being offered 20 head of cattle and 40 goats for the hand of his daughter in marriage.

The 36-year-old bachelor, Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor, has waited five years after writing to the president and vows to remain unmarried until he gets an answer.

"I am ready to wait for as long as I can," said Cheprkurgor, who is a municipal councillor in Kenya's Rift Valler town of Nakuru.

Chepkurgor's initial efforts to reach Clinton during his visit to Uganda in 2000 were thwarted by the Kenyan foreign ministry and the state security which failed to deliver his introduction letter.

The electrical engineering graduate promised in the letter to pay his would-be father-in-law 20 head of cattle and 40 goats in dowry in accordance with African traditions.

"I learnt a lot about the Clintons through the media and was impressed about their staunch Christian values and their down-to-earth attitude," he told AFP.

He'd have to keep them in Jersey somewhere. Sounds like a lot of trouble.

Not to mention the shipping costs!

Thailand offered Lincoln elephants to help him put down his rebellion, or legend says so anyway.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Smart, poised, and beautiful to boot.

I admire his knowing what he wants, and taking his chance on love.
I mean, it isn't like a card game, where you play your odds.
It's about love, and what your heart tells you.

I hope Bill at least gives him an answer, and lets him get on with his life. I am sure he will find a great love someday.

But I think Chelsea is already taken.

Do You know who he is? is he from Texas?

once.

Not being allowed within a thousand feet anymore is starting to hamper our relationship...

Are you in counseling now?

But the prison psycholgist says that's typical. Maybe if I offered her some goats she'd like me?

I beleive that will do the trick.

She should have gone to UC Berkley, seriously. Stanford, get real, it's a Howard Johnsons masquerading as an institution of higher learning. Dean of Students, Condi Rice; the Hoover Institution; the red tile roof (also reminissent of Califoirnia's Red Roof Inns); the elitist attitude; the Republican money everywhere...wrong place to find a soul mate.
