    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to mourn a great icon, and the greatest President who ever lived in this country. Even as we look out there, where the great man is lying in state, we remember him for many things. One of the things we remember the late Hon. Kibaki for is the change of the economy of the country. When Kibaki took over, this country was in shambles economically. There were no roads, no good schools, there was nothing in this country which we could be proud of, as a nation. Hon. Kibaki changed everything. The GDP of this country was changed completely to levels we can never imagine. Borrowing was reduced to a level that when he left this nation, this country was not relying on borrowing, unlike what we have currently. He even helped to change the Constitution of this country. I remember even before changing the Constitution, he was among the people who fought for multiparty democracy in this country. We must give it to him. Remember constitutions are usually changed at times of war, but Hon. Kibaki changed the Constitution when the country was calm because he accepted that for democracy to be in the country, we must accept to change the law as a nation."
