Chelsea Clinton.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- A Kenyan says he offered Bill Clinton 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter's hand in marriage five years ago -- and is still waiting for an answer.
Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor told the East Africa Standard newspaper last week that he wrote to Clinton asking for Chelsea's hand in 2000 during the then-president's visit to Kenya.
Chepkurgor, a 36-year-old elected city councilor in Nakuru, recounted writing to the U.S president through the Kenyan government.
He described his plans for a grand wedding presided over by South African Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He named then-President Daniel arap Moi and the president of his university as references.
"Had I succeeded in wooing Chelsea, I would have had a grand wedding," he told the Standard in an interview published Friday during Clinton's recent visit to Kenya.
Chepkurgor said his letter praised Clinton's leadership and commended his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, for standing by her husband "like an African woman" in the face of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The electrical engineering graduate said he promised to pay his would-be father-in-law 20 cows and 40 goats in dowry for his only daughter in accordance with African tradition.
But he said the letter prompted security checks -- on him, his family and his classmates, and he was summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Nairobi for a meeting that he missed because of his graduation from university.
A National Security Intelligence Service officer told the Standard the letter probably never made it out of the office.
"We gathered that this man was a teetotaler and a staunch Christian who seemed to have been struck by Chelsea, and I thought maybe he just took the joke too far," he said.
Chepkurgor vowed to remain single until he gets an answer to his proposal to marry Chelsea, 25.

20 cows and 40 goats would actually amount to a fair amount of money, approx. 35-40k.
I bet Bill made a counteroffer for Hillary.
I bet Bill would have fun with those goats.
I saw on CNN yesterday when they interviewd the guy live via phone.
He was sooo serious about this.. and the anchors were just egging him on like he has a chance.
I felt kinda bad for him.
Would tlong hit it?
Or just the goat and cows?
I think tlong would hit her paycheck.
Bill was like "wow thats a lot of steak, throw in a side of gravy and cole slaw and ill throw in Hillary too".
i dont think id pay more than two gophers and a goose for that...
I'd hit it.
I might hit if if she could cook.
It ain't her fault who her parents are.
I knew a dude that had to get it on with a goat while he was trying to get into some frat at SW Texas.
He ended up not making it.
What?!! You never told me that story, asswipe!I knew a dude that had to get it on with a goat while he was trying to get into some frat at SW Texas.

I'd pay 2 racks of ribs and a 2-liter DP for Bill.
I don't think you'd have to pay Bill anything. You may have to pay for something to distract Hillary, though.
Bill is a genius. When Hillary runs for Pres., all the bile will be directed towards her, and people will loose their contempt for him as the lesser of two evils.
^^
I'm not too hot on Hillary. But I love me some Bill Clinton.When he's i nthe whitehouse again I want to be his intern. Hillary had staff during his terms.. I know he'll have staff during her terms.
