I send my condolences to the family of His Excellency Mwai Kibaki for losing our former First Lady, Mama Lucy Kibaki. She had done a lot for this country. She really helped us, as the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA), in making sure that the Government’s employment policy of ensuring that, at least, one-third of public service employees are women became a reality. It became the policy of President Kibaki’s Government. She also fought for the rights of the very poor and sick people, especially those who were suffering from HIV/AIDS or affected by it. We have lost a great lady and a mother. Mama Lucy cared for poor Kenyans. May God rest her soul in eternal peace."}
