    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I also mourn this great son of Kenya and Africa. I had the privilege of watching the happenings that time from a close distance. I watched the former vice President work with the then founding President. I say without any fear of contradiction that he was a dignified and humble vice President to the founding President. There is no time you could hear any controversy between them. That was one way of putting the country together. It was a sad day when we learnt about the death of former President Moi. I take this opportunity to pass my condolences to his family from my husband. My husband travelled with President Moi many times outside the country when he represented President Kenyatta because the founding father did not travel out of the country much after he came from detention. My husband was full of admiration of how former President Moi handled state matters when he travelled to other countries. It is, indeed, commendable. He said that former President Moi would read his book while in the plane as they travelled and all the way back. That shows that he was a serious statesman who wanted knowledge. Our country will remember former President Moi for his contributions in the education sector especially for the girl child. We know that he built and supported many schools for the girls who were a bit left behind in matters education. The former President noted that void and made women education part of an important national issue. As many have said, President Moi was a humble person. All the power that he had did not get into his head; he could talk and listen to humble people. As he drove from Nakuru, he would stop at the market place to buy some bananas from the women. This was commendable. We might not have seen it as important, but that touch with Wanjiku was extremely important for development of our country."
