    "content": "Nairobi (UoN). Kenyatta University was a constituent college of the University of Nairobi. By the time he left office, many universities had been established. During the push for multi-party democracy in 1992, the late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi willingly accepted the course as mentioned by others that Section 2A of the Constitution be amended. After Section 2A of the Constitution was repealed, the late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi subjected himself to the term limit and willingly handed over power in 2002 against the thinking of many. We had a peaceful election in 2002. We all know what happened in 2007, 2013 and 2017 general elections. The late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, always called for peace, love and unity and that is what we are calling for under the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Mr. Speaker, Sir, the challenge is that as human beings, being a son of a mother and a father, of course, you are not perfect. There were challenges under the late former President Moi. Many things happened that people did not like. However, if you look at it, he did good things to this country compared to the wrongs. There was a lot of nostalgia about the late former President Moi’s rule when the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) came to power, with people wishing for his rule again. Something went wrong. Many things happened including the Anglo-Leasing scandal and there was confusion. In fact, like somebody said, he was lucky to have lived 20 years down the line after leaving office for Kenyans to realize that he was actually the President who meant well for this country. I was an ambassador under him and, in fact, on his way to Europe, he would always land in Egypt to fuel. I had a very good rapport with him. He was a very pleasing person to work with. He liked his Public Service and knew everybody by name. I think the foreign policy was very vibrant under the late former President Moi’s regime. I dare say that it never became that vibrant under my brother, Sen. Wetangula, and the rest. Kenya’s foreign policy was only vibrant under President Moi’s regime"
