Godfrey Kimutai Tanui made headlines after he proposed to Bomet Woman Representative Linet Chepkorir Toto on Valentine’s Day. The couple is set to tie the knot in what has been touted as one of the most sensational political love stories of the year.
Kimutai, also known as Nifty Kim, is reportedly an assistant to a second-term Member of the County Assembly (MCA) in Bomet County. Before landing that role, he was tasked with gathering and updating news content and events for Bomet County Politics forum.
Kimutai also had a short stint at Kimbilio Daima Sacco, a savings and credit cooperative society, formerly known as Chepsol Sacco Limited. At the Sacco, he empowered youth to invest and gain financial freedom.
Besides serving in different positions, Kimutai identifies himself as an entrepreneur, having volunteered in different positions. Reports indicate that he pursued Banking and Finance, and his social media pages indicate that he attended Western University based in Canada. Bishop Isaac Hellmuth founded the institution on March 7, 1878.
On the other hand, Linet Chepkorir Toto is a Kenyan politician who was elected as the Bomet Woman Representative in 2022. Before joining politics, Toto was a businesswoman and philanthropist.
Toto was born and raised in Bomet County, where she attended primary and secondary school. She later joined Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, where she pursued a degree in Commerce.
She is also a former Chairperson of the Kenya Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KWCCI). Her leadership at KWCCI saw her advocate for women’s empowerment and promote economic growth for women entrepreneurs.
While not much is known about how Toto and Kimutai met, the engagement ceremony was held at a private undisclosed location filled with petals of red roses perfectly spread on the ground forming a love heart shape.
