“I have worked with late President Daniel Arap Moi, late President Mwai Kibaki and I was a cabinet minister; I have worked in the Senate under President Uhuru Kenyatta and now we are with President Ruto. Our region has received more development during this period than at any other time throughout our history according to him.
