What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on buying furniture for my house, I will also build a kitchen for my kids so that they can have a place to sleep, I will pay school fees for my two kids in secondary school and six of them who are in primary and the remaining amount we will spend on buying a bull and ploughing machine so that we can use it in cultivating our farm.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I am proudest of is that my co-wife died long time ago and I managed to take his son to school till he finished high school using cash that I used to get from rope making using sisal.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that our income is very low and my family is very large and they all depend on us for school fees and food and this at times is very difficult for us to manage.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is when I go to my farm in the morning to plough it during this rainy season. I am happy when I see the crops that I planted grow well.
