But Paul Ngei could not save himself from bankruptcy. In a gathering of enthusiastic farmers in Kisii, Ngei told farmers that he wanted to see a serious agricultural revolution through cooperative farming.

However, when he moved to court seeking to be removed from bankruptcy status, the court did not grant him his wishes.
