Let me first acknowledge and thank the great people of Kisumu East who had the wisdom and independence to vote for me as an Independent Candidate. I think this is a great reflection of the maturity of the people of Kisumu East in that they went against directions from any party and said “we want a leader who will develop and be able to contribute; a developer.” I pledge to them that I shall serve them as a leader, servant leader, for the next five years or any period they see fit.
