He touched on so many issues like electricity, water, health, education and so on, which are issues that are very key and very dear to Kenyans, particularly to my people of Moiben.

They used to do very well but unfortunately today, we are having such a sad situation in Moiben. I was a product of maize and milk; that is how I managed to go to school. But now the farmers in Moiben can hardly even pay for fare to go and buy fertiliser in Eldoret Town. So, the situation is very sad. I can see that the President vividly captured that in his speech.
