    "content": "Will you be remembered for a fight on a formula or for standing for equity? What is it that Kenyans will remember this generation for? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am touched to remember the words of Jomo Kenyatta that in as much as our fathers might have been heroes of the past, our work is to be architects of the future. I want to implore upon all us in this House. Yesterday, Mr. Speaker, Sir, you made a historic ruling. You will be remembered for many things, but let us remember that history is made every day. Every day we come to this House, we speak out there, history is made every day. There is no event called history making. Let us always have that foresight. I want to pray to God to give this family strength and fortitude. Mzee lived his years; 94 is no mean feat. His legacy must live on. For the rest of us, let us remember that we have a role to play especially during this time when we are assessing this country; we are looking at the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) changes that we want to make. Let us make them with posterity in mind. Let us not look at provisions based on today’s politics. Let us not look at provisions based on 2022, but let us think of 50, 100 or 150 years to come. Let us have the posterity of this country in mind when we make some of these changes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May his soul rest in peace!"
