A HALF CENTURY OF SELFLESS SERVING THE NATION.
We salute you Mr. President, for selfless serving our Country. He has done a lot for this nation and
his leadership style is to be admired and emulated by many, he is a true role
model to many African leaders today. I bet he is doing some of the work which
should have been done 20 years ago (a good example is infrastructural
development, decongestion of the city among other projects).We will remember you for engineering the birth of new constitution.
Here is a brief history:-
In early 1960, Mwai Kibaki left academia for politics when he gave up
his job at Makerere and returned to Kenya to become executive officer of Kenya African
National Union (KANU), He was previously Vice-President
of Kenya for ten years
from 1978 to 1988 and also held cabinet ministerial positions, including a
widely acclaimed stint as Minister for Finance (1969–1981), Minister for Home
Affairs (1982–1988) and Minister for Health (1988–1991).[2]
After resigning as a cabinet minister in 1991,
Kibaki served as an opposition Member of Parliament from 1991 up to
his election as Kenya 's
third president in 2002 after two unsuccessful bids for the Kenyan presidency
in 1992 and 1997.
He was sworn in on the night of 30 December 2007
for his second term as president after controversially emerging as the winner
of a bitterly contested election. The election was marked by accusations of
fraud and widespread irregularities that led to the post-election violence of
2007–2008.
Kibaki's
political style during these years was described as gentlemanly and non
confrontational. This mild style also exposed him to criticism that he was a
spineless, or even cowardly, politician who never took a stand.
Here are a few
remarks which we will always remember:-
“Eti wewe unajifanya unajua saana,
unafikiria wewe ni nani?”
“Yote yenye tumefanya inaonekana,na hakuna
aja ya kubembeleza, hata mtoto amezaliwa anaona”- On jamhuri day, talking about
the achievement his government has achieved.
Feel free to comment with you best
remarks.
