    "content": "as very important persons who have really contributed in the sector of education. It has reminded me that even being a university lecturer, or a politician, you can be remembered because of your good work. I also want to urge the Members that whatever we do in our constituencies and in our country, we should be named and remain heroes of this country. Upgrading the institute to a university, and with devolution, I think this will be very great work for the people of Kitale. They will remember their son who did very well. Kijana Wamalwa was not selfish. Hon. Chris Wamalwa would have wanted to rename the university in his name now that he is the sitting Member of Parliament. I want to thank hon.Chris Wamalwa, because he is not selfish. He has decided to remember people who made a difference. I will avoid repetition because I know Members of Parliament want to contribute, I want to recognise education. I want to say education is the only weapon that can be used to develop this country. I come from Kibwezi East Constituency, which I represent. In my place I keep on telling people education is the only power we can get; it is the only tool we can use to bring development to our place. We do not have coffee. We do not have water. I know with education we can achieve development. I want to imagine the day when Jessica Mbalu Institute, or an institute named after me or my family, or whatever, will come into being. We want to thank Kijana Wamalwa for the good work he did. I know if he were in Parliament today he would be sitting on this side of the House just to make CORD stronger. I am not saying it is not strong; wherever he is, he is supporting us. Thank you, I support."
