A section of leaders from Nyamira have hailed world's best teacher Peter Tabichi as an inspiration to current and future generations to the region.
Early this year, Tabichi was crowned best teacher in Dubai, beating ten others, with President Uhuru Kenyatta and Governor John Nyagarama joining in the celebrations.
Tabichi, a Franciscan priest, will become the first professional to address UN general assembly this month in New York where he's expected to discuss issues to do with children.
Woman Representative Jerusha Momanyi on Sunday said Tabichi's achievements are worth to emulate, adding that he has out Nyamira in the global map.
"When you do the right thing, good things come afterwards. He has out Nyamira in the global map and we are thankful for the latest recognition," she said.
At an event in Keroka, Kemera MCA George Morara hailed Tabichi as a global citizen whose commitment to change lives of children and other people remains in his heart.
"I am thrilled to hear about his progress. He comes from this ward but he's now a global citizen. We shall continue giving him support as leaders," he added.
Tabichi, a Maths and Physics teacher in Keriko secondary, won Sh100 million early this year. He vowed to use part of the money to help vulnerable children.
At Nyamira, Governor Nyagarama received him before holding a homecoming party for him at Mokorongosi village in Kemera ward.
