    "content": ".” That is the problem with Africa and the Third World. That, we have leaders who never want to listen and entertain the contrary opinion. That is why democracy can never thrive in Africa and the Third World because we all want “Yes men”. The greatness of the late President Kibaki was that even when he was in Government, he would associate himself with those in the opposition. I remember when we were the “Seven Bearded Sisters” and we were not well regarded in Parliament, he took it upon himself to visit our constituencies. He went to the hon. Abuya Abuya and Chibule wa Tsuma’s constituencies. In fact, I was to be the last person. The day he was to come to my constituency, the late President Moi asked: “What is this political tourism which the Vice President is engaged in?” I had built a small house because I did not have a house at that time, hoping that President Kibaki would come to my home, but that was not to be. He valued that friendship because subsequently he came to Ugenya Constituency and came to my village. As President, he also came to Ugenya Constituency when I was a Member of Parliament for Ugenya Constituency."
