Orengo","speaker_title":"The Senate Minority Leader","speaker":{"id":129,"legal_name":"Aggrey James Orengo","slug":"james-orengo"},"content":" Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Motion. It is to record our condolences to the family of a statesman, Pan- Africanist, and of course, the second President of the Republic of Kenya. He is the longest ruling President in our history. I know that for anybody to achieve that record, it will probably take a century. I do not think that we will change the Constitution in any way. As I said, we are expressing our condolences. Whatever I am going to say will not be in praise or criticism, but in mourning. I say this because there are many people who are probably very angry when a word or two is said about the late President Daniel arap Moi. I want to tell those people who are still living a bit in denial and without looking into the future that for Kenya to be a great nation, we should not see ourselves in terms of black and white, religion, race or ethnicity."}
