    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thought you had forgotten me. I support this important Motion. Having said that, I want to correct one notion that has been created many times, that were it not for the former Prime Minister, Hon. Kibaki would not have been elected president. I was in one team with my friend, Hon. Wanjala, at that time and I want to correct my good friend, Hon. Elijah. Maybe, he does not know the history of where we have come from. I want to remind him that I was in the negotiations. This man came from KANU, where he had been rejected because of his selfish interests. He moved with other people, but he was not the one to say “ Kibaki tosha ”. They had agreed that it was Hon. Simeon Nyachae who was to say that we were supporting Hon. Mwai Kibaki. However, because he wanted to carry the day, he proclaimed during a political rally at Uhuru Park “ Kibaki tosha” . From that moment to date, he has disagreed with Hon. Simeon Nyachae. It was Hon. Simeon Nyachae who was supposed to endorse former President Mwai Kibaki for the presidency then. From that time, we went through hell as a result of that man joining us. The former President, Hon. Mwai Kibaki, was then ailing and was in and out of hospital most of the times. Once or twice, the former Prime Minister sneaked into the hospital to see him. He had been given an opportunity to appoint two or three Ministers whom he called and told to prepare because he thought the former President was going to die. Can you imagine! Is he a worthy man? This is the man you keep on telling us that he said, ‘Kibaki Tosha’ . You need to come to me and I will give you the history and genesis of these things. This is a very selfish person and his interest was that Kibaki dies so that he could take over power by force."
