    "content": "and the Americans wanting to have their own candidates in such kind of positions and the other interest groups within the African Continent wanting to have their own person. For those of you who have not been in such kind of position, it can involve the whole nation to campaign for one candidate. The fact that it only took five of them from this Senate and the five from the National Assembly, making it 10, plus the Speaker and they campaigned vigorously and obtained the position, I congratulate them for the tremendous efforts. That is a position of honour. She is now known by the international community and she is expected to perform well in various areas and give direction in some of the things that will come for debate and deliberations during the international meetings. She is the eye of Kenya in those organisations. She should be rest assured that if she needs any support from us, it will be readily available. Any experience she may require from us, it will be easily available to her, so that she conducts those exacting meetings. Sometimes they run into late hours of the morning wanting to reach a particular decision. She will come across many competing interests. There will be the interests of the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia-Pacific, and I am sure she is equal to the task. When she ascended to that position, they saw in her some level of character that will propel the organisation to a new level of standing internationally. I have no doubt in my mind, having watched her very carefully, having known her father who was a go-getter and having seen her of late and in the past few years that she will perform. I have observed her and she behaves like her late father, a go-getter. I think I am not wrong that she will achieve the kind of standards she has already set. Before her, there has been Sen. Mugo who offered an example."
