"content": "We now know who started the idea of public participation that we talked about. That was a great leader and a son of this country; a son who has made a difference and Kenya will never be the same again. The other quote is: “The Government will no longer be run on the whims of individuals.” He also said: “I promise not to let you down. I will be your servant with all humility and gratitude.” Governors in this country feel like small gods. They were given responsibilities by the people from the counties, but they feel like they own them instead of becoming their servants. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to repeat how a great leader he was as others have said. I never worked with him, but I can tell you that he was a great leader. If just 50 per cent of the leaders emulated him, I believe Kenya would be in the list of the developed world within the next 15 years. May he rest in peace. I wish his family well, so that they can bear this great loss. I assure them that as Kenyans, we share in their grief."
