    "content": "When you have a great mind, some people can pick you from very far. For the late President Kibaki, the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga saw his brilliance from far. I am told – and that is what we hear from the history – that he crossed the border to fetch him from Makerere University to come back to Kenya to lead the Kenya African National Union (KANU) as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). At a very young age, from there on, he proceeded to be elected as Member of Parliament (MP). The history of KANU will tell you that the fuel and DNA that ran KANU’s affairs in those early Independence days, was none other Mwai Kibaki. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I speak today, the history of the late President Mwai Kibaki should encourage our young Kenyans to dream without limits. From there on, he proceeded to serve this country uninterrupted for 50 years. Today, I salute, thank and give credit to the people of Othaya Constituency. From 1974 all the way to 2002, this man won each and every successive election. I wish I could enjoy such credit also from the people of Nyamira County, so that I serve for many years uninterrupted."
