He said Kibaki had demonstrated that with patience and tenacity, a man can achieve his ultimate goal in life.

He said: “Someone else would have given up the struggle after a few years, but Kibaki had stayed the course and ended 40 years of one-party rule.

“This is a record that we can’t forget and for which posterity and history would continue to remember the late Kenyan President.”
