Now listen, I have looked for you, this road now, it was built with a class called low volume seal. But now I have put money for you to build a Class B road, which will be built here for you, and this road we will start from Salga, it will come to Chebole here, it will come and join you here, it will pass through Bosi Emurua Diger, go to Sharuka, until it goes to Ensign. This road of yours will be an international Class B road because I want this area to open up and you to be connected to markets and the rest of Kenya. Do you say we continue or we continue?

And I will come back here in October because that is when I will start the construction of this road. Okay, work. So the Swahili say 'hayawi hayawi'. Is it today or not today? Today. Is it today? Today. So I am very happy to arrive here today in Emurua Diger. Do we understand each other? And I have come here to Narok County since yesterday for the development matters of this Emurua Diger area. Isn't that so? You soldiers, leave these citizens alone, leave these citizens alone. The citizens are okay, I don't know if we understand each other, isn't it? So first I want to say thank you very much, you people of Diger are good people. I want to thank you for your respect. You gave me a UDA representative, I say thank you very much. Isn't it? And I thank these youth, this honorable Doline, I say thank you very much for getting the opportunity to lead the people of Emurua Diger, even that youth you competed with, this Blue, I also thank him, this youth, because after the UDA nomination competition, he did not go to cause trouble elsewhere, he said he would wait. Isn't that so? But now I want to say this: because the election is behind us, I want the people of Emurua Diger to unite, to be one thing, to cooperate, so that development matters can move quickly. Do you understand me? I am asking all our leaders here, every leader, do not be a leader who divides citizens.
So I have arrived here today because of the development matters of this area. The market, I agreed with you people of Diger that when I plan Kenya's matters, we plan Kenya's matters in all parts of our nation Kenya. Today I have come here, this market is ready and I want to hand over this market so that the traders here can start doing business in this market starting next week. Are you traders ready? I say this: at that time, traders who are doing business on the road in various places, now you have a good place to do your business, and I have said that those traders who are coming to enter here, I will give them extra money for stock. Isn't it? So you Toline, you Ntutu, plan the people to enter here. The people who will enter here, I will give them three million shillings to increase the stock of those citizens who are entering here to do business. Are we together, people? Are we together? Similarly, I am going to do an inspection of that market in Mamboleo, and that market will also be ready in the next month. It has reached there, a little bit is left, next month I will send that market to be opened and I will also send three million for those traders of that market to continue. We have another market we are building there, isn't that so? And the others that I will agree with your MP and your governor, I want when we build markets, Kenya, Narok County, we are currently building 17 markets in Narok County. We have given government money of two billion to do that work, and I want all those markets to be built and completed before the end of this year, so that every trader is working in a good market. Didn't I agree with you that I will lift the women? Let them leave the dust. Let them leave the rain. Let them enter this market. Even this market is on a higher level, it is bottom up compared to this. Isn't that bottom up we said? The women should leave the dust. Let them enter the market. Which has electricity. It has water, it has a toilet, it has an ICT hub, it has a cold room, it has storage. Do we continue or we continue?

You say we continue like that. Today, similarly, I have been here since yesterday. Yesterday I started a big plan to connect electricity for the people of Narok County. The government of Kenya has given 2.8 billion to connect 15,000 new homes of the citizens here in Narok with electricity. You people of Diger, get ready because we will distribute that electricity. These MPs of yours, these leaders of yours, will tell us which village has not yet received electricity, which corner has not yet had electricity, so that we can ensure that this Kenya moves forward. We have agreed. Today, similarly, I have come here, I am going to start your Mogondo road here. That road that will go to Soit Ng'ambo. Do you understand me? That road, we have given you money, and not just that road alone, we are building 280 kilometers of road here in Narok County because I said that old politics of discrimination, one area is built, another area is left behind. That politics, we will leave it. We want to build every part of Kenya and Kenya to be able to move forward. That is the work I have come to do here. Yesterday I started the road at Eneng'etia, I went to the road at Mahali Lolonga going to that other area, and today I have come to this road from Mogondo here to Esoit. Do we continue or we continue?

This road that I came to start there, when I was Deputy President, didn't I come here for this road of yours? That road I built, but now that road has been damaged. Isn't that so? Now, listen carefully, you have heard about the big road I am building from Nairobi to Nakuru, isn't that so? So I said when it reaches Nakuru, it should enter a place called Salga, then come to Imbomos there, come to Chebole there, come from Chebole to enter here Emurua Diger, leave here Emurua Diger, go up this side to Sharuka, Kilgoris, go to No Sign until it reaches Migori. That road I am coming to start at the end of October because... Now, this road, I have told Mr. Davis, we will build the road anew. Do you understand me? Let's continue with that work. Today, similarly, I have come here because we have KMTC here. That KMTC, when you asked me, I went there and brought you 230 million to build hostels here. I want this Diger to be one place where we produce nurses, clinical officers, pharmacists, and all the others. Already there you have students, and I have also agreed to add another 16 classrooms in your KMTC. And that work, I want it to start next week so that we can ensure that when Kenya moves forward, Emurua Diger and Narok are there in the middle moving forward. Do we continue or we continue?
