I am one of those who served with him in the National Assembly between 1983 and 1988. I confirm that he was, in fact, the Deputy Speaker and guided us extremely well with firmness and fairness. Even after retirement, I understand he has continued to be a leading light, not only in Nandi County, but also other areas in the country. I hope that many leaders who retire from Parliament will find a role in guiding this nation to greater heights of prosperity. I deeply appreciate and consider it a great privilege to have the opportunity to see Mr. Ng’eny here, strong and still visionary."}
