    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion by my good friend with whom we taught at the university, hon. Chris Wamalwa. I rise to support. Having taught at the university, I can say I know the meaning and importance of education. I also know what it means to brand or name an institution after a hero for people of this country to remember. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having read and listened to the biography of Kijana Wamalwa--- I remember when my good friend, hon. Wamalwa presented this Motion, I told him I know he is a k ijana; he is not an old person. I wanted to know whether he was inspired by the name of Kijana Wamalwa to bring this Motion, but he told me that Kijana Wamalwa really contributed to his life even to becoming a Member of Parliament and also becoming a teacher at the university. His credentials speak for themselves. I know the request by the hon. Chris Wamalwa, that we upgrade the institute to a university, will add a lot of value to the people who really love, miss and recognise the importance of education. I want to remember the day that Kijana Wamalwa passed on. I had just got my first born. If I was coming from that side of the country, I would have named my first born Kijana Wamalwa. Today, hon. Wamalwa has just reminded me of that. As I support the Motion I want to state here that the university will really remind me of him and, of course, my prayers will have been answered. As a politician, I want to think of the day when we will have Jessica Mbalu Institute. I want to imagine people like Kijana Wamalwa and Wamalwa Junior, the one I can see seated next to me, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
