    "content": "As I conclude, a lot of times, people tend to think that the freedom struggle started in the 1950’s. That is not true. In Nyanza, where I come from, we had the movement in the 1920’s called piny owacho which simply means, “The world has said.” The idea of those people was to come together. In fact, those were the very early forms of resistance.Those who have read the book by Jaramogi Ogiga, Not yet Uhuru, on page 65, it talks about piny owacho in detail.It lists some of the unspoken heroes of Kenyan struggle. One of them, you may wish to know, was the father of a former Deputy Speaker of this House, the late Job Omino. His father, Joel Omino, was among the people who came up with the idea of piny owacho as a way of injecting patronage by the colonialists. Because of time, I wish to support and urge my colleagues to try to find a way to transform this Motion into a Bill, so that we can put the freedom struggle into proper perspective."
