"The discovery was made in no little measurement by their ability to lift above conventional political logical thought and tribal thinking at considerable personal risk," said King.

He added: "This is the bequest of my father and mother. I am equally humbled to fall in the people of Republic Of Kenya as they work through the procedure of unity, rapprochement and healing."
