    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the people of Makueni, who were at one time represented by Hon. Nthenge, my family and the political party of his association at some point, we wish to pass our condolences to his family and say he has been a good role model to many politicians. He participated in the second restoration and he ran under FORD-ASILI after the split of the original FORD and was elected as the Member for Kamukunji. He decided not to vie anymore because he thought he was no longer useful to the new style of politics which had come up. When he found out that he was not being useful to the people, he decided to call it quits. He went to business in retirement and kept mentoring politicians. He loved his family very much. He lost them through a tragic road accident. He used to commute from Machakos to bring his children to school in Nairobi early in the morning. One misty day, the accident happened. He still carried his wife’s passport up to recently. He would boast about his family and say how great his wife was. He kept on missing his family despite moving on and having another family. However, the best thing he ever did in this country is to fight for first and second liberation. Let me join the others who are calling upon the county governments of Makueni, Machakos, and Nairobi, or even the national Government that we name a university, a road or a monument in honour of Hon. George Nthenge. Thank you."
