Edwin Abonyo, widower to former Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso, has promised to do a spotless job, following his recent appointment to the State Corporations Advisory Committee.
President Uhuru Kenyatta in mid October picked Abonyo for the slot, which he (Abonyo) says he was told was a token to wipe off his tears, following the loss of his wife.
In an interview Tuesday, Abonyo promised to do his best, promising to deliver as expected, both for the sake of the president and the people of Kenya by extension.
"It was a very interesting appointment na nilifurahi sana maana inahusiana na vitu nyingi (because its a broad job). Nitaifanya vizuri sana na sitalet president down and by extension the people of Kenya (I will don't well and I won't let the president down and by extension the people of Kenya)," he said on Radio Jambo's Bustani La Masawe.
He also lauded the President for his support during Laboso's sickness days and after her death, terming him a very civilised man who was of great help to the family.
"His Excellency is a very civilised man and was of great help to us. When i get the oppotunity i will thank him (His excellency huwa ni muungwana sana na alitusaidia sana na nikipata nafasi nitamshukuru)," he added.
