    "content": "I remember her at a very personal level. During the 2007 elections, she came to Runyenjes Constituency. When she arrived, she found very many male candidates next to me and she told them this to their faces: “I did not come here for you. I came here to support a fellow woman.” When she stood to speak she said: “I have come here to support Cecily Mbarire, my daughter.” That really shocked me. Even when the then President Hon. Mwai Kibaki came three days later, he did not even have the courage to seek support for me and yet, I was a member of the Party of National Unity (PNU). But his wife, the First Lady, sought support for me. From that day, I felt a lot of love and support for her. Definitely, I will miss her at a personal level. I hope that women leaders who have watched her will move a notch higher in asserting our position as women leaders. May she rest in peace."
