    "content": "It just flows, as I am being told by Hon. Wamalwa. What comes to mind when you talk about Mwai Kibaki? The Thika Super Highway just comes to mind, naturally. What comes to mind? It is free primary education. I am happy the Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta followed in his footsteps. If you talk about Uhuru Kenyatta, you will obviously think about the Nairobi Expressway, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and many other things. As we send off this great Kenyan statesman, we need to relook at ourselves and think of where we are as a country and where we need to go. I cannot end without saying that Mwai Kibaki did not work alone. Indeed, he was blessed to work with three Vice Presidents during his 10-year tenure—the late Hon. Michael Wamalwa Kijana, the Hon. Moody Awori and the Hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka. Those were his able loyal Vice Presidents. Indeed, he was lucky to have had loyal Vice Presidents. It was not like these days when you have a Deputy President who has become a Leader of the Opposition. It is very interesting, as we send off the Hon. Mwai Kibaki, that we need to reflect upon ourselves as a country. Do we need the situation we currently find ourselves in, where a Deputy President has become an Opposition leader in his own Government? That never happened during Mwai Kibaki’s tenure. Therefore, with those very many words, I pray the Almighty God to continue blessing this country and to keep the soul of the third President of this country in eternal peace."
