"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start by appreciating the efforts by the Acting Minister for Provincial Administration and Internal Security for his role in moving this very important Bill. Let me start to recall that very chaotic environment when the former President, His Excellency Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, was handing over at Uhuru Park, and congratulate him for his resilience and patience. Moi is a peaceful and credible leader because he agreed to hand over power to the new President smoothly and peacefully. There was a lot of tension at Uhuru Park at that particular time. A big segment of the population and particularly those people who were very close to the President threw human faeces at the President. Even his suit was affected by this. Moi is a very tolerant leader. Aware that he was inhumanly treated by our people, I would urge him to forgive all those who insulted and abused him. I am not forgetting the presence and sorrow that was exhibited by Sally Kosgei, the then Permanent Secretary in the Office of the President. I even recall vividly the last minute she went to bid farewell to the former President. We noted your heavy heart and that is a very high degree of patriotism."
