    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to eulogise our son, the son of the world, a linguist, a creative writer and gift to this country. I would like to go directly to the family that Ngugi wa Thiong'o has left behind for us. I could not move my eyes from the screen, watching the children of Ngugi wa Thiong'o. He has left us children who are well grounded, who he must have taught well and showed the right way to follow. This is a lesson we need to pick up as a House. We need to know that no matter how busy we are, no matter how many parts of the world we go to, at the end of the day, it is family we are working for. Hon. Speaker, Ngugi wa Thiong’o travelled to very many parts of the world. At times he was not happy with the situation at home but he remained patriotic to our country, making sure that he wrote books that showed love for this country. We have much to learn from him. I thank you for your Statement that day about how we did not see his face in all our dailies. We need to urge our media houses to be more patriotic and to love Kenyans like the late Ngugi wa Thiong'o. Ngugi wa Thiong'o left behind a number of children, showing us that we need to rethink our family planning policy. We must have a debate in future on whether we should have allowed the colonialists to encourage us to only have two children instead---"
