    "content": "True, he started in Donholm and eventually the people of Nyeri fished him from here back to Nyeri. The people of Nyeri had total confidence in Mzee Kibaki. Even during the times of mlolongo, Mzee Kibaki was among very few people who had no challengers. Some of you may not remember what Mlolongo was. I knew Mzee Kibaki more than 40 years ago. What struck me is how he was able to relate to me as a young man. We were close until his final days. The people of Nyeri and the country at large know that Mzee Kibaki was a great leader who always thought good of other people. He was a man who, in spite of his greatness, respected all the people. We have truly lost a great man. Remembering the words of Mark Anthony that: “I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him”. Praises for Mzee Kibaki cannot be enumerated through a single speech. The greatest of all was his character. Today, we recollect the good times we had with him as the President of this country. When he was the Minister for Finance, he did a lot to improve the economy of this country and the lives of many ordinary Kenyans.
