    "content": "We are privileged, as Kenyans, to have had a President who had these virtues. Today millions of youth who wholly benefitted from free primary education, subsidised secondary and university have increased productive labour skills to our work force. The Hon. His Excellency Mwai Kibaki made Kenyans believe in the change of governance during his tenure. He introduced the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and improved infrastructure. It is key to note that every time Kibaki partnered with Raila, Kenya experienced tremendous growth: Vision 2030, the Thika Super High Way, the Constitution of 2010, devolution and election of more women to the legislatures. As I stand here to mourn this great leader, it is painful to hear Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah talk about how he mourns the economy. At the end of the day, infrastructure was a very big dream of the late President. He believed in infrastructure. Some of the projects that the current President completed were started in his tenure. It is nice to know that all the highways we enjoy are a continuity by Hon. President Uhuru Kenyatta. The said projects have given Kenyans gateways, not only to the region, but also to the grater world. Let us celebrate that which is good, and let us thank the Almighty God for his mercies. We know that the President was ailing and now he has rested. My condolences are to the entire family. My gratitude is to the entire Nairobi County for coming out in great numbers today. Thank you."
