With newfound fame, Bradley Marongo, aka The Kenyan Goliath and arguably the tallest man in Kenya, says many ladies have been pestering him because of his distinctive height.

Marongo, 27, is married and has two daughters, Mitchelle and Chantelle, but says women have been flocking around him.

"Ladies like tall, dark, and handsome. If I were to walk with another man, I'd attract more girls than him," he said in an interview on KTN.

He added that he has had enough of the fame and now wants to find ways to make money. He claimed he does not mind the nature of work as long as he is well compensated.

"I finished primary school in 2012 but I could not continue with my education due to lack of school fees...I have never met my dad.

"My mother's house was locked, and I made the bitter decision to look for employment, which is how I ended up being a tout," he said.

Adding: "I make Shs300 per day, and considering the cost of living, it is a struggle for me as I have to send upkeep money to my family in Vihiga County".

Marongo said he lives in a single room with three other friends, and when things are tough, he sleeps hungry to save a few coins for his family.

While many might consider his height a blessing, for Marongo, conducting simple chores like going to the market is a challenge as he often attracts crowds fascinated by his height.

Asked about his clothing, he said he has never worn shoes because it is almost impossible to find his size.

He also wears basketball jerseys because they are the only ones that fit him well.
