"content": "Three generations from now; the children of your children will not know who Kyale Mwendwa was and what it meant for a person to say, we will not pledge allegiance to the Queen. Can we find a method of telling stories about these people because it is unfortunate for a story like the one I have read today in his eulogy to be in it? It should be in a book in a school where people should be reading. When I visited the Robben Island, I found a former prisoner telling us the story about that prison. The story of Kenya should be told by people who fought for Kenya. It is unfortunate that we have to read the story of these good people when they are long dead. Since God has done what He does best and since He loved him more, may he rest in peace. Nonetheless, can we find another method of doing this when people are alive? I am sure where he was, he knows we did not appreciate him, which we should. Just like in Europe, we should either give him a card to access groceries or a card to access medical care and free parking. When they get to a place, you do not need to hustle them. Mr. Kyale Mwendwa should have walked into Aga Khan University Hospital without paying a bill. He should get first class access to airports. These are our heroes. Let us not celebrate people when they die. It is not right."
