Malia Obama gets marriage offer from Kenyan prince

Mr Obama is part Kenyan, part English, African-American and Irish, which means his all-American daughters, Malia and Sasha, 13, also have Kenyan blood.

The first daughters are often seen with their parents on official outings but have managed to avoid much controversy – apart from in January when Malia was pictured on Instagram wearing a t-shirt with hip hop group Pro Era’s logo just days after one of its members was arrested for breaking a security guard’s nose.

Mr Kiprono added: “People might say I am after the family’s money, which is not the case. My love is real.”

The lawyer said he is drafting a letter to Mr Obama to ask Malia to accompany him on his trip to the east African country in two months time and hopes the embassy will pass his letter on after he hands it to the US Ambassador in Kenya who he has “interacted with several times”.

The Kenyan said that should Mr Obama accept his request, his engagement to the “love of his life” will be “unique with a twist”.

He added: “If my request is granted, I will not resort to the cliche of popping champagne.

“Instead, I will surprise her with mursik, the traditional Kalenjin sour milk. As an indication that she is my queen, I will tie sinendet, which is a sacred plant, around her head.

“I will propose to her on a popular hill in Bureti near my father’s land where leaders and warriors are usually crowned.”

“Ours will be a simple life. I will teach Malia how to milk a cow, cook ugali and prepare mursik like any other Kalenjin woman.”
