NAIROBI, Kenya — A Kenyan man’s offer of 40 goats and 20 cows for Chelsea Clinton’s hand in marriage may still be on the table — and Hillary Rodham Clinton has promised to convey the “very kind offer” to her daughter.
To laughter at a town hall meeting today in Kenya, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria asked the U.S. Secretary of State if the Clintons had made a decision on the dowry offer. In 2000, a Kenyan man wrote to then-president Bill Clinton offering the animals in accordance with African tradition.
After a pause, Clinton said, “My daughter is her own person, very independent, so I will convey this very kind offer.”
Clinton has denied rumors that her daughter, 29, is planning to get married this summer.
