In late 2017, David Waswa shocked the sleepy Nzatani Village in Kitui County, after arriving in four choppers to pay bride price for his wife Moreen Tabitha.
A fleet of high end vehicles was on standby to pick his entourage.Reports said the event cost him Sh5 million with a ring the couple exchanged costing a jaw-dropping Sh1.6 million.
Details are scanty as to how much bride price was paid, though heavy presence of security men pointed to the hefty amounts that may have exchanged hands.
