    "content": "Dr. Patrick Lumumba applied for this job just like anybody else and he is qualified. I am sure that the majority of us have seen his contributions generally. He has been acting as an advocate. He has also served as the Secretary to the CKRC where he worked very well. Dr. Lumumba is a very open-minded and independent person. I would not say that he would go and ask for anybody’s support or influence. Although he is being accused for having vied for election in 1997, this is one person who decided not to align himself to any large political party. He decided to go it alone and convince people. He also bribed nobody. I remember when he was campaigning, he told men and women that whoever wanted to vote for him, then let him or her vote for him because of his own merit and not because he or she had been given money. That made me believe that Dr. Lumumba is a very able person who can do things on his own. In that election, very few people could vie on parties which were not known like his, but he did it. He could have aligned himself to any party. Some of our parties were very strong and very powerful in Nairobi but he never bothered. He stood on his own."
