“I am a distinguished dairy farmer, courtesy of rejection by voters.” Those are the words of former North Imenti MP Silas Muriuki. When the MT. KENYA STAR team visited Muriuki at his farm in Runogone village, Imenti North Sub County, he said he does not regret losing the elections because he is handsomely earning from his 32 Friesian breed cows and still helping his constituents who seek farming tips from him.
“After l lost the election, l saw the kind of employment that could make me busy and earn a living was farming. I thought l should have a model farm to teach people who are able to go about dairy farming and l am now grateful for achieving that,” said Muriuki.
