"content": "and the people I saw in my infancy, as they were working and growing old and one man inspired me to be who I am and where I am today. He was the Member of Parliament for my constituency from the early 1980’s to 1988, when multi-party democracy came. Before he went to Parliament, he was a blossoming young man who was active, driving his good cars and donning the best suits and jackets. When he came to Parliament, he was a very vocal parliamentarian. His presence was pronounced everyday in Parliament. He walked everywhere. People saw him in the manner he addressed, talked and behaved. They knew that, that was so- and-so and was christened “ Bwana Sukari”. After he left without a pension, life changed a bit for him, but he is a courageous man. We do not want to see people like that taking the image of a squalor when they were active men. When he was in Parliament, he was vocal. He put the Government on its toes and many of the bad things that would have happened did not happen because of him."
