    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to condole with Hon. Kawanjiku and the great people of Kiambaa on the loss of this great gentleman of the Republic of Kenya. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was doing my research on The Hansard and the last contribution that Hon. Stanley Githunguri made on the Floor of this House was around this time in December. He reminded all Public Service Vehicles (PSV) drivers to be very careful on the road during the festive season. He had noted that too many accidents had happened around that time. He looked forward to the elections that were coming the following year because he was vying for the Senate seat in Kiambu County. Unfortunately, he did not win. However, looking at the contributions that he made in this House, he was hardworking, and he was always on time in coming to the House. He took time to articulate issues of the people of Kiambaa and the people of the Republic of Kenya generally. I note that after losing his father at the age of 13 and being brought up by a single mother, he went to school with the help of an American priest. I cannot underpin the importance of religious leaders like priests, especially those from outside the country who have helped quite a number of Kenyans to go through school. Those Kenyans have become great leaders like the late Hon. Githunguri. I am a beneficiary of an American philanthropist, namely Rev. Lans Landowk. I can name very many other people I went to Kenyatta University with, who got education through sponsorship by this great priest. You can see that people who got assistance from people who are not even members of their families end up supporting many other people. It has been said in this House that Hon. Stanley Githunguri sponsored very many people to get education. It is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only.
