3. Cultural Bonding
She noted the importance of their engagement in uniting the two prominent clans of Northern Kenya.
In her announcement, Hezena expressed the cultural significance of their union, noting that it symbolizes the coming together of two prominent clans in Northern Kenya.
She playfully added that while some might expect she had “gone to the clan of cows” (a local phrase symbolizing dowry traditions), she had, in fact, joined “the clan of camels.”
4. Commitment to Partnership
Expressing her commitment to a supportive partnership, Hezena said she is ready “to submit and respect this son of the North.”
Her words reflect her deep respect and dedication to the values they both share.
