    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to pay tribute to this great woman of substance and an iron lady of her time. I shudder to learn that the late Chelagat Mutai died a pale shadow of her former self. This points to the point that many of us have already made, that we must honor our heroes in life. Who are our heroes? They must not just be those freedom fighters who fought for freedom in 1963. Heroes are made every day in this country. History is written every day in this country. Everybody who has their touch on the history of this country must be honored by this nation for us to be a nation worth its salt. I am glad that we now have in place the National Heroes and Honors Act. This will enable even Members of this House to be selected as heroes and honored while they live. I hope that will be done soon. Many words have been spoken in tribute of this great lady. However, the greatest tribute we can pay to this iron lady is not in words; it is in action. In fact, it is in protection of the freedoms that we have gained over the years. We must protect our Constitution with our lives in tribute to the late Chelagat Mutai. We must protect the freedoms that we have come a long way in gaining. I am talking about the freedom of association, the freedom of speech and the freedom of media. I hope that we will not be bringing to this House---"
