    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me join the Member for Kiambaa, the people of Kiambu County and Kenyans at large in expressing my very deep sympathies and condolences to the family of Hon. Stanley Munga Githunguri. Just as we have heard, Hon. Githunguri belonged to the post-Independence generation of nationalists who took it upon themselves to nurture our then nascent civil service. He contributed immensely to the civil service as we know it today. He was also an astute businessperson, going by the record he has left behind. He is one of those entrepreneurs that any upcoming businessperson would want to emulate. Going by the stories we hear of how he battled the then one-party state or system to survive in business, is a testament to the fact that he was resilient. More importantly, Hon. Githunguri was a democrat. He contributed immensely to the fight for the second liberation as many of us know. He was very close to, and worked very closely with, the leadership of the Second Liberation Movement, especially the Forum for Restoration of Democracy (FORD). In fact, many times, he housed the pro-reform movement and its leaders in his premises. Therefore, as we send him off, it is a challenge to all of us to reflect on what we can do in furtherance of the very progressive ideals that Hon. Githunguri cherished while he was alive. What can we do to enhance the national unity that Hon. Githunguri was so passionate about during his time on earth? With those very many remarks, I say pole kwa familia . May the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace."
