He is also a youth leader who founded the Lamargweny village scheme that is involved in clearing Prosopis from productive landscapes for cultivation. To date, over 100 acres previously invaded by Prosopishas been cleared and is being used for cultivation of various crops including maize, tomatoes and water melons. Under his leadership, the scheme continues to expand and Prosopisinvaded landscapes are being converted to crop production.
