Bomet Women Rep Hon. Linet Chepkorir Toto Reflects on Early Promises and Community Projects
Bomet County Women Representative, Hon. Linet Chepkorir Toto, has long been known for her engaging and approachable style, a trait first witnessed in 2021 at Famous Gate Hotel in Bomet. On that morning, while a visitor was borrowing a charger at the hotel reception, he ran into the then-new political contender. In a brief five-minute chat, they took a photo together, marking the first of many interactions. If I win as ‘mama county,’ you will be my right-hand man, she jokingly told him, while sharing her vision to invest in Kimulot Ward and Konoin constituency, promising developments that would leave locals amazed.
Years later, her commitment to local projects remains a topic of interest among residents. During Sheila Shuttle’s 17th music anniversary event, the same visitor caught up with Hon. Linet to follow up on her Kimulot promises. With a playful grin, she responded vaguely about ongoing initiatives, jokingly referring to the tents supply program, leaving everyone laughing. When reminded of her earlier promise to make him her right-hand man, she teased, Kwani haujui jokes? showcasing her humorous and relatable persona.
Despite the lighthearted exchanges, Hon. Linet has consistently demonstrated dedication to her constituency. Her early campaign promises, coupled with her approachable personality, continue to resonate with constituents who appreciate both her vision for development and her ability to engage with the public in a down-to-earth manner. Residents now eagerly watch how her commitments—like projects in Kimulot and Konoin—will translate into tangible community impact in the coming years.
