    "content": "the life of Mwandawiro Mghanga, I went to Kodiaga Prison in Kisumu and I saw the heap of Mwandawiro Mghanga on the floor dying. I shed tears. I managed to go to court and within two days I got an order for him to be taken to hospital. They had just left him lying on the cold cement and he was dying. Mwandawiro lived to join us in the Ninth Parliament. We have talked about Matiba and I do not need to repeat that. There is the late Martin Shikuku. When he was in his last days, I went with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale here and other Members to see him in a third rate terminal care centre. We looked at the late Shikuku and we asked ourselves whether that was the man who fought for the Independence of this country. When Shikuku died, not a single Government person could even bother to ask how his family was going to survive beyond him. When we saw him in hospital with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and others, we broke down, but he told us: “Young men do not cry. I was only waiting for only one thing in this county; the delivery of the new Constitution. It has come and I am ready to face my Maker”. He did go to face his Maker. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this country has gone through very difficult times. The first regime had terrible human rights abuses. The second regime was the same. We must also salute where it is due. When Mwai Kibaki came to power, the torture chambers disappeared and the molestation of people disappeared. You remember a man from Meru called Ndambiri or something like that who was jailed for 15 years for an entry in his diary. An entry in his private personal dairy resulted in him being picked up and locked up for 15 years."
