We can now confidently say that we have managed to stabilize the economy when I told many people that we were going to do so by making fairly difficult decisions but necessary.

I don't talk much, that is who I am, sometimes people look at me and wonder how I got here because of how quiet I am. They look at how I speak and think that I am timid, but that's not the case. Leadership is not about arrogance, voice, and other things, leadership is about delivering, so let us respect each other here. There is a difference between leadership and populism.
He asserted that his record dealing with bandits in Kerio Valley during his tenure as Interior CS speaks for itself and challenged leaders with anger issues not to bring it into leadership.
If you have anger issues, don't bring it to leadership, please, let's respect each other. I repeat, let's respect each other. I have given you all the respect, but you must also respect me…They kept on saying I couldn't deal with bandits in Kerio Valley, but today, there is peace in Kerio Valley due to the work I did there.
