"content": "As I wind off in supporting this great Motion by Sen. Mungatana, we must as a country continue to celebrate out gallant sons and daughters. I appreciate Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o for sticking to his identity and calling out everybody to be proud of their identity and culture. Culture is a way of life and it changes. As culture changed in his writings, the main themes remain in the contents as he wrote them. Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o lived a full life and he fought a good fight. May his soul rest in peace and may he join our gallant sons that went before us. I remember one such writer, Margaret Ogola, who wrote the River and the Source and many other writers. I want to compare Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o to people who came out boldly to shed off names that they were not comfortable about. One such person is Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. Yes, Adonija Jaramogi Oginga Odinga refused to pick that other name and he fought for that identity."
