The lawmaker went ahead and disclosed that he also gets trolled for his command of English, when he appears for interviews in stations that require him to converse in the language.

"I also get a lot of backlash because of my command of English. I can't change who I am, I went to a polling centre primary school just like Victor and we must be proud of our identities," he remarked.

Nyoro asked the youth to shun comparing themselves with others, noting that there were many more opportunities that did not require them to be eloquent in English.

"I want to inspire other guys out there, even if you are not as eloquent as the other person, there are many more opportunities out here. Nothing of that matter should bring us down," he noted.
