    "content": "It is very unfortunate that somebody’s positive contribution is always said after he dies. I am sure some of us were in school then. We did not participate in the reform agenda of the 1990s because we did not have the capacity to do so. I am sure those of us who served in the 10th Parliament, 11th Parliament and the early part of the 12th Parliament before Sunday had certain legislative powers to remember Hon. Stanley Matiba when he was alive. It is not in order, particularly in the Islamic faith, to talk about the deceased. I want to tell Hon. Wandayi that after the handshake between President Uhuru and Hon. Raila Odinga, it meant that we forgive each other, forget the past and forge ahead. I want to ask the people of Kenya not to use the death of Hon. Stanley Matiba to give fodder to some people to revive the politics of yester-years. We need to give Hon. Stanley Matiba a decent State burial. That is what his family requires from the nation and leaders across the political divide. Even when I am gone, please do not discuss my past. Do not come to Garissa and discuss my past because you will not help me. Hon. Wandayi has said that some people must repent. This is not the forum and the place to do so. You will repent to the creator when you die and appear before Him on the day of judgement. You will have an opportunity to ask for repentance. If you repent in full glare of television cameras in this House, we are the wrong forum. We cannot forgive you. We do not have the capacity and jurisdiction to forgive."
