When I came to the Eighth Parliament first, I happened to be one of the young Deputy Ministers. At that time, I was Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs. The President was always concerned about peace in the region. Many times, he asked me to brief him about the situation in Somalia. I am now very happy that he has achieved the vision he had for peace in this region. I want to wish him well. I know he has a lot of energy and desire to make peace, not only in Kenya but also in Africa and East Africa."}
