    "content": "This morning I joined the international community at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) where Minister John Michuki was supposed to be the host to over 100 of his colleague Ministers for Environment from all over the world, gathering at the special Governing Council as they prepare to go for what they have termed as Rio Plus 20. It will be recalled that in 1992, the world gathered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for what then was the Earth Summit. Therefore, the preparatory session for Rio Plus 20 is taking place as I speak to you. This morning, the international community joined with His Excellency the President Mwai Kibaki who broke the news of the passing of Minister John Michuki last night before we saw him off as he left for the special session discussing Somalia in London. The Ministers for Environment were able to observe a moment of silence and the President of that Council who is from Spain had to pay special tribute to Minister John Michuki. I was given an opportunity just to acknowledge that because it was overwhelming that these colleagues felt so strongly about Minister John Michuki’s contribution to the well being and development of this country."
