    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity, on behalf of the people of Emuhaya, to join Hon. Atandi and the people of Alego Usonga in mourning the demise of the former Waziri Oloo Aringo. Hon. Atandi brought up two or three things about him very well. I want to add that he was a man who made decisions and followed them. When he introduced the 8-4-4 system, it was unpopular. Those of us who had lived under the A-level system had much admonishment for the 8-4-4 system. After the MacKay Commission introduced a second university, Moi University, he launched and implemented the 8-4-4 system. As we can remember, he was behind the Kenya Science Teachers College (KSTC), which became the hallmark of science teaching in this country. In Parliament, he also moved Motions and Bills to create Maseno University, Egerton University and Moi University. He is the man behind this. At that time, the University of Nairobi was the only one. He expanded university education to what it is now. Finally, I want to talk about his strategy, which people refer to as a court poet, which he was not. At that particular time, he simply changed the strategy because Luo Nyanza was in the Opposition. He noticed there was an opportunity to drive them into the Government. That is how he changed the strategy and became what he was. Remember, he even shaved his beard when he was appointed the Minister for Information and Broadcasting and dropped his name, Castro. We mourn the late Oloo Aringo. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker"
