""I am delighted and humbled to write to you today.
I am glad to let you know that your son - Morintat Peter Oiboo- has been honoured by the USA Government and selected as a Mandela Washington Fellow (MWF), 2016, a flagship programme by the POTUS Barack Hussein Obama dubbed the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI).
This is a rare and welcome recognition for the people of KCW, Kilgoris Constituency and Narok County.
MWF fellows are selected from exceptional Young African Leaders who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in business and entrepreneurship, public & civil service leadership; Young leaders whose accolades and experience have distinguished them as Africa's most influential young leaders.
President Obama launched YALI in 2010 to support young African leaders as they spur business growth and prosperity and strengthen democratic governance and leadership in business, politics, public service and NGOs.
In the coming days, weeks and months, from 17th June to 5th August, together with other fellows from around the World, I will be participating in the YALI fellowship events including residency Fellowship at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois.
The fellowship will culminate in a 4 day summit hosted by President Obama in Washington, DC.
I am humbled to participate and bring home the treasured, democratic ideals that the U.S. is famed for.
I take this leadership pilgrimage with hopes of lighting the many young people's aspirations on leadership roles in different capacities in this country.
This MWF fellowship could not have come at a better time; At this defining moment when I have declared my candidacy for the office of MP, Kilgoris Constituency, it'll definitely give me the tools of service to come back and serve the people I love so dearly - with integrity.
I look forward to hearing from you on the goodwill messages that I should convey on your behalf to President Obama and the American people.
My endeavour is to be your goodwill ambassador, by representing Kilgoris Constituency, Narok County and Kenya with honour.
Thank you. God bless you all. God bless Kilgoris Constituency."
I like your speech. You deserve the Chance. Congratulations!!
