    "content": "of the promise that was made in Uhuru Park on that afternoon of December 2002 when he took over. I could go on and on, but we do not have the luxury of time. The late President had an outstanding approach to leadership that all of us here should emulate to make Kenya a great country that Mzee left. As we head to the elections, probably God has called him to the high heavens as a signal to Kenyans. As we talk of all the great things Mzee Kibaki did, I would like to ask our electorate to honour him by looking for his qualities and characteristics in all aspirants at all levels. Ask yourself if you see a Kibaki or aspects thereof in your Member of County Assembly (MCA), Member of Parliament, Senator or Governor. I want the electorate to ask themselves whether they see a Kibaki or aspects thereof - those attributes that we are all talking of - in their elected leaders. He did very great. Do not just say, as we traditionally do, that a cow had milk after it has passed on. We want to look at whether our cows have milk even in the future when they are still living. I would like to challenge our electorates to look for those qualities in our leaders as we go to those elections and Kenya shall be a great country just as he planned it, sowed the seeds, created the framework that we all crave for, so that we will bequeath a better country to our children and our children’s children. Hon. Speaker, in the interest of time and all the other Members, I want to stop there. I could go on forever. It touches me personally from my close relationship with him. I have lost a friend and a mentor. I hope wherever he is, he is looking down upon me and the others that he mentored and he will help us in our journey through this political thickness. Hon. Speaker, with those words, I beg to move."
