    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Kabeere M’Mbijiwe sat in this House for three uninterrupted terms. He served during the government of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. He was appointed as Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs. He then worked closely with former President Daniel arap Moi as Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Energy and Minister for Health. For those Members who do not know how he looks, his portrait is at the entrance of the main Chamber. I would wish those who know him and those who even do not know him, but maybe like his face, to at least, condole with the family because he has left an indelible mark in this country. These are the people who served tirelessly to put the foundation that we really enjoy and the foundation which many of the leaders are very keen to destroy. So Kenya has come from far. I would like to tell Members that when Mzee served in my constituency for three terms, he really did a lot of work in the sector of electricity and agriculture. There are some regions which border Tharaka Constituency which are almost arid, where my colleague Hon. Murugara comes from. That area has been transformed to be a grain basket nowadays. Hon. M’Mbijiwe and other members who served during his term have left this world and those others who are living like Mzee Moi and the rest; I wish them to have good life. Maybe they should not sit back. A time like now, those leaders should come out and advise us young leaders how to behave, how to put Kenya together and how we should avoid selfishness in leadership, so that Kenya can move on together. What has been put together in this country from The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
