    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the late President Mwai Kibaki was a man of a clear vision and a roadmap. He had different roadmaps for each sector; roads, education, natural resources and afforestation. All of them would converge at one point. I was an Assistant Minister for Environment during the days of Hon. Michuki, before I became a Minister. It was very clear on what he thought about climate change. I remember before I became an Assistant Minister, we had a caucus in Parliament on climate change where we invited African Parliamentarians to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). He made an off the cuff statement that unless we dealt with the climate change, it would destroy all of us irrespective of whether you come from a developed or a non-developed nation. Beyond the speeches that were being made, he chose to be personal about issues that he believed in. We thank God for him. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are other Members who would like to make their contributions, so I will not go on. I pray that the family finds comfort from the good contributions from our experience with the man who loved his nation and country; a man who did not want to take credit for anything, a man who did not want to be labelled on buildings or anything but one who believed in performance. May the Lord God rest his soul in eternal peace. Thank you."
