Jean Marie Seroney. Jeptorus and Seroney were converts and their looming marriage excited the missionaries but not the prospective father-in-law, Chief Kibirech arap Chemtai. The church had to eat humble pie and look for cows to pay the chief before Seroney and Jeptorus could be legally married. The product of this contested union was Jean Marie Seroney, who inspired by the spirits of his parents became a champion human rights defender and an independent-thinking MP. His extraordinary journey and bravery in the face of travesty is chronicled by Godfrey Sang in his book, Just for Today: The Life and Times of Jean Marie Seroney.
