    "content": "As a politician, I also attest to hon. Wakhungu’s assertion that he was generous. I met him when I was a student leader and, indeed, he was one person who would give you all his money and would finally ask other politicians whether they had some fuel for him. We were students and he gave us all the money he had and had to request some money from the late George Kapten sometime back. We have seen other heroes being honoured. Recently, Nyandarua County Ol Kalou General Hospital was renamed “J.M. Kariuki Hospital”. We have many other heroes honoured in this Republic and I believe it is time for Trans Nzoia County to have a university. We have a university in my county. We have Egerton University. Other counties also have universities. It is important that Trans Nzoia County has a university. It is important that this charismatic politician from the western region of this country, who was responsible for bringing together the Luhya voters of the western Kenya, a feat that has not been achieved by any other politician up to today, be honoured. I know western Kenya is one of the most populous areas in terms of voters; they vote for everyone but when Mr. Michael Kijana Wamalwa was there, he was able to bring them together under FORD(K) and subsequently to NARC; this has not been achieved. He is, no doubt, a hero whom we must honour. For all these reasons, I second the Motion. Thank you."
