George Bibao, Jubilee party chairman in Bomachoge Borabu said Matiang'i deserved the promotion.

Stephen Kirera, a trader in Kisii town welcomed Matiang'i's promotion saying the Head of State is fully pleased with his good work. 

"Matiang'i's promotion means the Gusii community is being recognized by the Jubilee government. We expect more leaders from Kisii region to be absorbed in government," said Kirera. 

Emily Gesare, a fruits vendor urged Matiang'i to ignore critics and work towards the implementation of the President's Big 4 Agenda. 

"Matiang'i's promotion means he will put more efforts to ensure Kenyans countrywide are accessing development," she noted.
