We trust that you will make things better,\u201d Gideon told Tiren.<\/p>\n<p>He lauded Kanu members across the country for remaining firm in the face of political dynamics.\u00a0Gideon was blessed by the clergy in the church service organised by Kanu leaders from Nandi County and held at Kenmosa.<\/p>\n<p>Tiren said the senator is in a better position to succeed President Kenyatta.\u00a0The lawmaker said politicians supporting the president\u2019s agenda will hold a series of prayer services in coming months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Development agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He said leaders from the region will rally behind Gideon in ensuring the president achieves his development agenda.\u00a0\u201cWe fully support President Kenyatta\u2019s agenda by all means.

Now Kanu and Jubilee Party are in one coalition,\u201d said Tolgos.\u00a0\u201cThrough that MoU, you made sure that Mr Tiren got back his Agriculture Committee chairmanship.<\/p>\n<p>Continue supporting Tiren because he has a difficult job of ensuring farmers\u2019 interests are taken care of.\u201d\u00a0Tolgos urged Gideon to defend top state officers from the Rift Valley from political persecutions and sackings.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged him to back the president on the third generation of revenue allocation formula among counties, which is currently awaiting approval by the Senate.\u00a0The governor said the formula will help counties, including Elgeyo Marakwet, which he said have been receiving unfairly little allocation through the previous formula.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want this formula to break the unity of our nation. Through your leadership, we can break the deadlock and the country will have a win-win revenue sharing formula,\u201d Tolgos said.<\/p>\n<p>Chepkut described Gideon as an approachable leader who can unite the country.\u00a0\u201cTell President Uhuru that we support him.
