"I got interested in her in 2008," the lawyer told the Nairobian newspaper. "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."
According to prices on African farming, Kiprono's offer could be worth in excess of $90,000.
