    "content": "young people and the experience and calming effect that can only come with age and experience. Therefore, just the same way young people do not wish to be discriminated against in terms of opportunities, so should we not discriminate against persons of a particular age. History is full of people who have made a marked contribution to the welfare and to the development of their countries notwithstanding their age. The first President of this country became President at a very advanced age, but he was still able to set and establish the foundation for the nation we call Kenya today. Nelson Mandela, down south, walked off from the Robben Island at a very advanced age. He went on to become the President and set the foundation of the nation of South Africa that everybody is so proud of today. Winston Churchill became the Prime Minister of Britain and led it to victory in the Second World War at a fairly advanced age. I could go on and on. Our immediate former President, Mwai Kibaki, became President also at a fairly advanced age. However, we can see the effect of his mind, policies and economic thinking on where the country is now in terms of our economic development."
