Journalist In Love With Gideon Moi's Daughter Pens Heartfelt Letter
by Stephanie WangariWhile Kenyans followed the late former President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi's send-off, one freelance journalist Kennie Balo, could not fail to notice Baringo Senator Gideon Moi's daughter, Lulu.
Balo was so intrigued by Lulu's beauty and character, that he took to Twitter to pen a heartfelt letter asking her to be his life partner.
"Dear Lulu, I have come to realise you're the most beautiful lady in Kenya. My attention was drawn by subsequent consistent photos of you today (during the late former president's burial).
"What gives me hope is that you are single and not dating. You would think of me as crazy for making this proposal to you but believe me, this is not a random thought but a serious decision which I have taken today," he began.
Balo added that he believed the two were suited to be long time partners.
"I know when you see this and see my pictures, you will love me but the decision of spending the entire life together would be tough for you. So take your time and only then, give me your answer," he stated.
He concluded his letter by stating that he would respect whichever decision Lulu would make.
"I will be waiting desperately and would respect whichever decision you make. Your style of laughing, smiling, takes me back to decades when love was meant to be supernatural. My plan is to come to your home with 1,000 bulls," he concluded.
Below is Balo's open letter.
Hoping the letter reaches to you safely.
My name is Kennie Balo, from Nairobi County (047).
Dear Lulu, I have come to realize you're the most beautiful lady in Kenya. My attention was drawn by subsequent consistent photos of you today. What gives me hope is that you're single and not dating.
You would think of me as crazy for making this proposal to you but believe me, this is not a random thought but a serious decision which I have taken today. I have never been in a relationship in the past and I believe that we are very well suited to be life partners. I know when you see this and see my pictures you'll love me but the decision of spending the entire lifetime [sic] together would be tough for you. So take your time and only then, give me your answer. I would be waiting desperately and would respect whatever decision you take in the end.
Your style of (smiling) 😋😋😋 (laughing) takes me to decades when love was meant to be supernatural.
My plan is to come to your home with 1000 bulls.
This is not the first time a man is professing their love to a prominent person's daughter.
In April 2019, a man of Chinese descent, Zhe Fang Liu, who was on a tour of Kenya, declared his underlying love for Ngina Kenyatta, the only daughter of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Liu claimed he loved the president's daughter for her selfless nature even though he had never met her.
"My parents always continuously ask when I'm going to get married. I just got overwhelmed and decided to tell people that I'm going to marry Ngina.
"So, I figured I wanted to at least go on a date and cook her dinner to see if we have the same values. They say the beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes as they are the doorway to her heart," he stated.
