    "content": "and the Government is working to increase the effect of attractiveness of Government stocks”. This was in the 1970s and his articulation on financial matters was unmatched. Despite the political challenges our country faced at that point, His Excellency President Kibaki always distinguished himself as a great servant hell-bent to adopt and implement policies geared towards sustainable economic growth and ensuring the overall betterment of the lives of Kenyans. I knew the late President Kibaki as a great friend having met him about thirty years ago on a personal level. I greatly enjoyed his company at the social level, in the golfing circles and later on he became my mentor in 2002 when he encouraged me to get into politics and immediately pulled me into his Cabinet on 3rd January 2003. I was to stay alongside him in the Cabinet for ten years. I watched all these developments that you have articulated as they unfolded and as they were being planned. I know he was a great gentleman. What you would call a gentleman par excellence. He is what leadership authors would call a “global level five leader” who is typified by exuding rare greatness, but with a huge sense of humility. That is what he had."
