    "content": "Moving to the nominee for the Principal Secretary for Energy, Eng. Joseph Kibere Njoroge, allow me to remind ourselves that as a country and myself in particular, we must form the habit of celebrating Kenyans who are achievers. I am extremely proud of those Kenyans who go out of their way to achieve. Many of us sitting in this House may not remember that sometimes in the mid 70s, there was a strike at the University of Nairobi. The reason for that strike was because those who were in charge of the College of Architecture and Engineering at the time, who were mainly non-Africans saw to it that no African, no matter how bright you were, could get anything better than a Lower Second Class Honours. I am saying this because the nominee for the docket of Energy, in my view, Eng. Joseph Kibere Njoroge is a trail blazer. He went to the University of Nairobi at a time when discrimination was still live in our universities and he is among the very first Africans to get a First Class Honours in Electrical and Electronics Engineering."
