On the front page of The Standard of September 6, 2004, a picture showed Raila Odinga, then serving as the Minister for Roads, Housing and Public Works, taking former First Lady Lucy Kibaki on a tour of Nairobi's Kibera slums.

This was perhaps the first time for the First Lady to venture that deep in the sprawling slum. She was there to inaugurate one of her projects, the Kibera Education and Empowerment Programme.
