* (en) I have done a lot of work in Narok during my 10 years tenure. I managed a scholarship programme for 90 needy children using the affirmative action fund and I am proud that almost all of them went to university. I also focused in the dairy sector where we bought milk coolers managed by women groups and I have seen their lives change through this initiative which has made a turnaround for women in various parts of the country.

* (en) When I first contested for the Narok Woman Representative seat, my rivals used the excuse that I was a young woman and not married who if elected might end up getting married elsewhere. Some people even created imaginary boyfriends for me mostly men from other communities saying that by electing me, I will not be useful to my community. In the beginning I almost quit but realised I would be doing exactly what my rivals wanted which was to keep me out of the race due to my growing popularity. I thank God since I got the support of the majority of women and youths who propelled me to the seat with a landslide win.

* (en) I come from a political family. My father Samson ole Tuya served as the Narok South MP for two terms during the seventh and eighth parliaments while my mother was a councillor in Narok County Council. However, I felt I that I was not made for politics since I was that child who preferred staying indoors as my father and mother held political meetings and hosted guests in our home, even if someone was to take over from them I never felt that I was the right person but fate had its own plans. I was approached in 2011 to contest for Narok Woman Rep seat but I turned down the offer telling my supporters I was comfortable serving my people as an advocate where I mostly offered Pro Bono services. I remember hosting a meeting at my father's compound attended by around 3,000 people where I requested to be left out of politics.
