The list of the prominent people who have married Kikuyu women

/
7 mins read

I like the idea that people get to intermarry without any regard to a tribe or ethnic background.

Kikuyu is the most sort after tribe in Kenya where many men usually love and prefer to marry from.

From Luos, Luhyas, Kambas, and even Maasai and all other tribes in the country, men usually enjoy marrying our fellow Kikuyu women.

I must agree with many Kenyans that not all but most of the Kikuyu women don’t know how to cook but what I can tell you for free is, when you marry a Kikuyu lady, there’s a high chance you will get rich and you will never go broke because they are usually hardworking and have a way to know how to budget and invest your money.

Tell me one man who is broke from dating but most importantly from a marriage with Kikuyu women.

They always have your back when it’s all said and done and the best part of them all is that they will always help you when you are in need of cash.

That being said, these are the prominent Kenyans who have married Kikuyu women.
