"We are planning to spend the first part of the transfer to buy three bulls because we already have one, and the four would be enough to help us in ploughing our farm in time without struggling to spend money on ploughing. Secondly, we intend to use another part of the transfer to pay college fees for our daughter in Nairobi university, and another one in secondary school in form one. Lastly, we plan to use the remaining amount of the transfer to buy water pump that we intend to use in irrigating our vegetables."
