"content": "member of the party and not in active politics. I had an interaction with him in a certain hotel where we shared a meal together with other leaders. In him I saw a great man. When he did not make it to be the President in the early 90s, it was unfortunate for this country. If he were to be the President immediately after the repeal of Section 2A of the old Constitution, thereby making Kenya a multi-party state, he could have taken us many miles ahead. Unfortunately, he came at the helm of leadership after having an accident and getting old. There was also the issue of nusumkate that also stalled his plans for this country. Notwithstanding all these hurdles, he made sure that he laid a proper foundation for this country, especially in the transport and education sectors. He was the one who reduced taxes for boda boda so that the young and unemployed people could buy them. As we talk, that sector is employing most of the youth in this country because there is no any other opening to employ our youth. This great man has done a lot for this country. Let us pray for his family, the people of Othaya and his soul. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you."
