A well-known Meru County Assembly Member, Dennis Kiogora from Abogeta West, is now engaged after proposing to his partner on Monday.
In a romantic gesture, Kiogora took his significant other to India, where he popped the question at the iconic Taj Mahal.
Sharing the news on his Facebook page, Kiogora explained his choice of the proposal location, noting that the Taj Mahal is globally recognized as a symbol of everlasting love.
He remarked that he wanted to deviate from the usual reason Kenyans travel to India, which is often for medical purposes, by creating a memorable and joyous personal moment at this historic site.
“She said YES and gave me the best Christmas of my life! Many have been asking why we are going for holiday in India (Kenyans are majorly known for going to India for treatment) and this was why,” Kiogora said.
“The TAJ MAHAL! An enduring symbol of Eternal Love that was built 400 years ago by Shah Jahan, in loving memory to his wife Muhtaza Mahal who died giving birth to their child,” he said.
Kiogora added: “India is very beautiful and we like visiting places that are not popular with many people. Ká Tö, with you, I found my missing rib! We will build our monument for ages.”
Kiogora was the first MCA to propose a motion to impeach Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza.
Last year, Kiogora proposed a motion to impeach Mwangaza, an overwhelming 67 MCAs out of 69 voted in favour of it.
The allegations included nepotism and irregular appointments, abuse of office, and gross violation of the constitution and other county laws.
