I would like to thank even the community that I come from the Bomet people; the elders and the Bishops who came to my house at one time and told me: “Langat, our community is not a community that takes from the poor. Give the Turkana and the rest their share and bring to Bomet whatever little and honest it may be.” Today, the people of Bomet have been rewarded by God. You should have gotten Kshs600 million but because you stood with me and I stood with others in this country, we have gained Kshs1.184 million. So, I want to thank God. I want also to appreciate leaders who were bold right from the beginning. I want to congratulate the Deputy President of this country, who right from the onset promoted"
