00:00 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of the press.

00:04 With me here are my colleague governors, Governor Gladys Wanga of Omobe,

00:08 Governor Chirayako Migori,

00:11 and Governor Simba Arati from Kisi.

00:15 We met here today just to have a discussion

00:21 as a Zimio governor coming from this region.

00:25 The Governor of Trans-Oya could not make it because of some other commitment.

00:30 Our friend Governor Nyaribo from Nyamira was indisposed.

00:35 Otherwise we were full house,

00:38 consulting and sharing notes with our party leader and the Zimio leader,

00:42 Raitone Raila Molo Dinga.

00:46 The current situation in the country and in the region

00:52 is some of the issues that we need to raise that concern us

00:58 in terms of development, in terms of politics, in terms of international affairs.

01:04 It was a free discussion that people contributed

01:10 and we had a very fruitful discussion.

01:14 They are trying to sell their own politics to us,

01:17 but we know for certain that we are in a Zimio

01:20 and we have the vision bearer

01:24 who has always been the father of change and progress in the nation.

01:30 There is no other party, no other coalition that can do it better than the Zimio.

01:35 So no wind can blow us apart.

01:39 No earthquake can shake our foundation.

01:43 And therefore rest assured that though that be the case,

01:48 it does not disturb us at all.

01:52 And secondly, we did definitely talk about a lot of economic issues,

01:59 transportation on the lake,

02:01 how we can link our ports and beaches,

02:04 like used to happen in the East African community days,

02:07 what investments are needed,

02:10 investment in agriculture, particular research,

02:13 and the access to capital.

02:16 And I think those are pertinent issues

02:19 that will perhaps come out in a communique eventually

02:22 as a report of this meeting.

02:25 Thank you very much.

02:27 Smadgeg!

02:31 Thank you.

02:32 Thank you.
