Former Kajiado Central MP and assistant minister David Sankori on Saturday married Tanzania’s Martha Ntoipo in a classic wedding.

The colourful ceremony took place at his Isara home in the Mashuuru sub-county and was attended by the county’s political elites led by Governor Joseph Lenku.

Ntoipo, the newest wife of the Kanu era politician, Sankori, hails from Tanzania’s Longido district.

The wedding happened almost two years after Sankori lost his wife, Susan, 70, in September 2021.

Thousands of guests from Kenya and Tanzania attended the ceremony in which Lenku was the chief guest.

Kajiado County assembly speaker Justus Ngossur led his MCAs to the colourful occasion.

“We are happy Sankori now has a companion. It was exciting to join thousands of well-wishers to set off the new couple for their new life,” said Lenku in praise of his political adviser.

“I wish the couple God's blessings, understanding and peace in all their endeavours as they navigate their marital journey.”

The hundreds of guests in attendance were told not to leave the ceremony until they eat all the food.
