Bomet Women Rep-elect Linet Chepkorir Toto has thanked Gideon Cheruiyot, a Bodaboda rider who used to ferry her for free during campaigns.
Speaking on JKL on Wednesday, August 24, Toto disclosed that her parents could not raise funds for her campaigns.
She said that Gideon volunteered to ferry her from their home to the field and back in the evening when campaigns were done for free.
"I thank Gideon Cheruiyot, He is my neighbour. When I declared my aspiration, he knew I was a hustler. My parents could not raise funds for my campaigns to use. Gideon decided to assist me with his bodaboda, he used to be fuelling it himself and picking me up in the morning to go in the field and bring me back. He was so happy when I won," Toto said.
