    "content": "The other lesson he leaves behind for us is that, he believed not in one person but an entire community. We appreciate the late Hon. Mwai Kibaki for appointing a great man, the late Hon. Christopher Michael Wamalwa as a Vice President of Kenya. With him as the Vice President, the all luhya nation rallied behind Hon. Mwai Kibaki. I come from a very small community of the Abanyala from western Kenya. He was the first President to appoint a munyala Minister, Dr. Newton Kulundu. We are eulogising him as our great friend. Hon. Mwai Kibaki leaves behind 50 years of service in politics that gives us a lesson on patience. Are we supposed to be in a hurry to be presidents tomorrow? The answer is no. Are we supposed to be in a hurry to be leaders today? The answer in no. Patience pays. Let everyone remember Mwai Kibaki as a person who travelled a political journey without being in a hurry to be a president. He led this country well for two terms. He leaves us with great honour. With all those lessons, what do I propose? Great men in this world are remembered through infrastructure such as roads and buildings. Therefore, I want to challenge you as the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Service Commission… Could the great Member for Kikuyu allow me to proceed? Hon. Speaker, through this eulogy, I want to make a proposal to you as the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Service Commission. I said earlier that great men are remembered through infrastructure such as roads and buildings. Today, we are almost completing the tallest building in the parliamentary complex. Is it possible, through you, to remember this great man after 50 years of service by naming that tallest building as Hon. Mwai Kibaki Building?"
