    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this great opportunity to eulogize this great man, the late President Emilio Stanley Mwai Kibaki. He was a great leader and will be remembered because of what we can see today, out of what he did. I pass my condolences on behalf of the people of Bomet to the family and to the Kenyans that this man touched their lives in a very special way. The late President Mwai Kibaki was a great man right from the family level. He worked closely with his wife when he was President. He even went ahead to protect his family through a press statement declaring Lucy Kibaki as the only wife he had. You know it was great, and I tend to think he set a great example to most men in this country. In leadership he was an economic giant who rescued this country at the point of need. When we were expecting that everything was in disarray economically, there came a time when H.E Kibaki arrived as the President and saved the economy of this country. He will be remembered forever. When he declared free universal primary education, most people doubted that it would have succeeded. It succeeded so much that I remember when I was in university, almost every student was researching on the success of free primary education in this country. Most of the people went back to school, as Sen. Wetangula has said, including an elder by the name Maruge. Most of the people left looking after the cattle to go back to school and today most of those people are working in various sectors in this country. Therefore, he gave hope to most Kenyans on matters education. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
