    "content": "I did not have the opportunity to join that party, because I was in school. He also served well in the Ministries that he headed, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade among others. Hon. J.J. Kamotho will be remembered for the famous Kasarani meeting when he lost his seat of the Secretary-General to none other than the former Prime Minister, Raila Amolo Odinga during the merger of KANU and NDP. It was in that meeting that his old friend and former Minister for Internal Security, hon. (Prof.) Saitoti said “a time comes when Kenya is bigger than the individual”. I wish the young secretary-generals of today, hon. Ababu--- We pray that he will not suffer the fate of hon. J.J. Kamotho in Kasarani. We pray that hon. J.J. Kamotho will be the last one to suffer that fate as a Secretary-General, because mergers are there. I hope the day Wiper Democratic Movement, FORD (K) and ODM will merge, hon. Ababu will not be the sacrificial lamb. If that happens, he will join history as the second after hon. J.J. Kamotho. Hon. J.J. Kamotho was described by many. Some described him as a good leader and some described him as a sycophant of the then Government of President Moi. I am sure sycophancy in the true meaning of the Kenyan politics is when you serve your party, your leadership and your Government in the way they best need you. The way hon. Ng’ongo and hon. Ababu will serve their party is the same way I will serve in the Jubilee Coalition, with dedication. So, it all depends on where you are shooting from. If you are shooting from Jubilee, the CORD fraternity will look at you as a sycophant. If you are shooting from CORD Coalition as hon. J.J. Kamotho did during his days in KANU, others will see you as a sycophant. But I am sure the people of Mathioya are now represented well for the second time by hon. (Capt.) Wambugu. We want to join them in this hour of grief and say that hon. J.J. Kamotho has left a mark in the political map of the Republic of Kenya. I send my condolences."
