While speaking on Friday, June 6, Mbadi promised to give a staggering KSh 1.5 million towards the empowerment initiative meant to assist boda boda riders and hustlers in Eldoret.
He further lauded Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi for initiating the programme, terming it a remarkable move.
"I want to say that I am together with my brother Oscar Sudi. Ninataka kusema hongera. I want to congratulate you, you have done a wonderful job. Thank you so much, people of Kapseret. Will you welcome me when I come again?" he asked.
"I am also promising to give something. I can't just come to this place empty-handed. I will give my brother my contribution. I have KSh 1.5 million for these people here,"he added.
He stated that when he was invited by Sudi to the event, he thought it would be a simple event meant to help a few people, but upon getting there, he was surprised.
Mbadi said that the event was more than what he had anticipated, thus lauding Sudi for his great job.
"This is a high-level event that needs brains. My brother Oscar Sudi has scored an A+. There is no dispute about that. Now that you have found a good leader like this one you must take care of him. This is because if you lose this leader, it might take you approximately 100 years to get another one like him," he added.
