President Kikwete is an excellent example of a leader who has devoted his live to public service and he is an inspiration for me. I believe, with a public office, by a way of example in the manner with which I will hold it, with complete devotion to service, I can demonstrate a different way of doing things.
Lakini baada ya kufanya kazi kwa karibu na Rais Kikwete, nilihamasika sana nami kuiga mfano wake. Na, baada ya hapo, nimekuwa nasoma historia ya wanasiasa wengi maarufu duniani. Nimevutiwa sana na mfano na uongozi wa Bwana Dag Hammarskjold, Katibu Mkuu wa zamani wa Umoja wa Mataifa. Hata hivyo, Mwalimu Nyerere bado anabakia ndio dira ya uongozi na mfano wa uongozi kwetu sote.
