Speaking on Monday during the Eldoret City Men Congress held at Noble Hotel in Eldoret, Kibor said youths should shun alcoholism to prolong their lives.

"Alcohol ruins people. Even if you are a youth and you start consuming alcohol, you won't live to attain my age (Pombe inaharibu watu, ata kama wewe ni kijana, ukianza na pombe basi, hutafika miaka yangu)," he said in a video shared on You Tube by Nation TV on Monday.

He also addressed the importance of eating healthy and traditional foods as a key pillar to long life and also asked men to respect women.

"Stay with your wife, a wife can be good if she comes from a respectful family, others are bad (Kaa tu na mama, mama ni mzuri kama anatoka kwa manyumba ile mzuri na heshima yake, kuna mama wengine wazuri sana, na kuna wale wabaya)."

Kibor, a business magnate-cum-politician headlines when he divorced his third wife a few months after divorcing his first wife with whom they had stayed in marriage for about 50 years.

Eldoret City Men Congress was held to empower men in the society.
