    "content": "To the literary world, we pass our condolences to them on the passing on of their colleague. I am encouraged to know that all the four children of Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o; Tee Ngũgĩ, Mukoma Ngũgĩ, Nduchu Ngũgĩ and Wanjiku Ngũgĩ, without exception, are actually published authors. They are in the literature world. They are writing and they are being published, so it is a good thing that he has passed on to his children. To our students in schools, those who have had the opportunity to study works of art by Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, we all agree that they have been very thought- provoking and that his works are the embodiment of the literary saying that literature is not based in a vacuum; that literature draws from society. Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o used the platform of literature to communicate the social messages that touched on politics, economics and development of the country and the region. May the soul of Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, the father of African modern literature, rest in God's eternal peace. I thank you."
