What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
We plan to build a house, currently we live in a one roomed house which we can't share with the kids because they all grown up. We need a bigger space.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement am proudest of is being able to take care of and raise my children through farming and the small businesses I run like selling fish.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship we face is the burden of school fees coming ahead. Our eldest child is soon joining secondary school.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening after a long day's work which I have been paid for. Because then I can buy food for the kids.
