Over the weekend, June Ruto, daughter to Deputy President William Ruto was engaged to Dr. Alexander Ezenagu, her longtime Nigerian boyfriend.

In the Kalenjin ceremony called 'Koito', the groom's family are invited into the room for dowry negotiations as well as getting to know each other well.

The posh event was held in DP Ruto's Karen home.

Well, Kiss FM's Jalang'o and Kamene spoke about the wedding on The Morning Kiss, asking people to learn from it, not to extort their in-laws as it is not an investment but a celebration.

Jalang'o said

"I want to talk to parents. You need to work hard as a parent whichever way just grind. Push, push, push as a parent so that your daughters ruracio or wedding is one of the few things you're counting as an investment. 

It should not be a place of extortion. Sijui gate imefungwa, sijui kifunguo imepotea. This should be a happy moment not a place where your son in  law is stressed whether he will get your daughter or not."

He went on to refer to DP William Ruto's daughter's traditional ceremony.

"If you saw the wedding in Karen, it was just good vibes, rungu kugongwa hapa na pale, musiki. Do you see women being covered in leso's so that you pick the wrong one then fine. Your daughters bride price is not an investment or extortion it is a celebration. So that their family has some money and they can enjoy their marriage."

On the other hand, Jalas blessed his co-host Kamene, praying she finds 'The one'

"Whoever you find, I shall release you to go find love, whether an older or a younger man it is all up to you. Wherever you will find it I as your brother Kamene will forever bless you."
