“Omulen is sober minded man who puts his resources to the benefit of the community and the church of God and I challenge others to emulate him because he has constructed multi-million St.Damian catholic church, improved on the lives of people by providing piped water to over 500 homes, electricity and graded roads that is why God rewards him.”
