Speaking at Simwotet Secondary school in Transmara East where he officially received projects sponsored by the government of Japan to the tune of Sh12.5 million, Deputy Governor Tamalinye Koech on behalf of the Narok County Government said the close working relationship between the two administrations witnessed will be strengthened further for the benefit of posterity.
