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.
