I think it is unfortunate that, maybe, the Member misquoted me. I wish he visits The Hansard . I said: “If a Committee of this House made recommendations that led to the arrest of a Member who was jailed for 70 years and above, who is a member of a Cabinet to dodge around when a Member of this House has been arrested because of recommendations of this House?” I did not rejoice. I said if a Member has been arrested because of recommendations of this House, how about a Cabinet Secretary? Please, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to mourn a great icon, and the greatest President who ever lived in this country. Even as we look out there, where the great man is lying in state, we remember him for many things. One of the things we remember the late Hon. Kibaki for is the change of the economy of the country. When Kibaki took over, this country was in shambles economically. There were no roads, no good schools, there was nothing in this country which we could be proud of, as a nation. Hon. Kibaki changed everything. The GDP of ...

He did a lot in terms of infrastructure. I remember when we used to travel from Narok to Nairobi, we would go all the way to Nakuru through Kericho, then to Kinoo then to Nairobi. But after he took over, he changed all the roads in this country so that each road was passable. Kibaki did a lot in a few years; I think five years. He even introduced free primary education, something we cannot imagine. The current Government that has ruled the country for ten years has never even improved on the free primary education, not even changing the ...

Lastly, Kibaki will be remembered for very many things. Even as we – those of us left behind – remember this great man, suppose this country gave us an opportunity to serve as a President, what would we leave behind? Will we leave a united nation? Will we leave a country that is economically vibrant? Will we leave a country that will remember us for many good things? Or will we leave a country that is in shambles? That is a question that must live with us, even as we are coming to the close of the five-year term of ...

Hon. Speaker, I think I have attended a meeting where you were not the chair at that moment. I have even gone for a trip that was organized by this Committee. I just wanted to mention something especially on comments which some of the Members were trying to bring up. It was majorly because of some names. I think partly mine is one of those names.

My friends, Hon. Oscar Sudi and Hon. Didmus Barasa, are others. You know I was in Maseno School where discipline has been the highest in the whole country. It has never gone on strike since 1906. The selection of prefects and captains of that school was based on students who had been very disturbing…
