We request the same price for milk at the gate of our farms to be the same as elsewhere in Kenya for we produce the best quality milk in these parts of the world.”

“His Excellency our governor is away in Seoul dealing with the coordination of cities in the world, we are learning very fast and we are very keen on making Eldoret a city. As the population of Uasin Gishu grows, we want to address the issue of water, because there is a project about to be completed in Kipkaren and there is a bigger one in Two Rivers that has been placed by the national government and we request for a flagship for it can sort the people of Eldoret for up to 40 years. We promise to serve the people of this county better.” Noted the deputy governor.
