"UONGOZI WETU hauna budi utokane na watu wa nchi hii, bila hila, bila rushwa, bila vitisho na bila ujanja wa aina yoyote. Tunapofikia kupata uongozi kwa kutumia hila au rushwa, au vitisho , au ujanja wa aina nyingine yoyote, basi hatukutokana na watu wenyewe na wala hauwezi ukawa uongozi wa haki na hauwezi ukawa uongozi wa watu"
