    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to also condole with the family of Hon. Matiba. I also join my fellow Senators in voicing our concern and feeling that Hon. Kenneth Matiba should not have gone through the pain he went through in life just because he differed with the forces that were there at the time. It is very important for us, Kenyans, to realise that differing with somebody does not mean that the person becomes a demon or a creature from another space. It is just that human beings are created, born and think differently. Therefore, we have varied thoughts on issues. So, as Kenyans, for this not to be repeated, we need to learn from history and right the wrongs that have been done before to individuals like Matiba. It is not only on us to condole or to say we are sorry that he has passed on and so on; what needs to be done is something good for the family that the late Mr. Matiba has left behind. That means that whatever Mr. Matiba may have been accused of should be righted. At the same time, something good should be done for the family so that they can take care of their businesses and live a better life than the one Mr. Matiba lived towards the end of his life. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that Kenyans learn from history. Some of us were not born at the time when Mr. Matiba was there, but we have read a lot about him in books, newspapers and so on. On behalf of the great county of Turkana, I would like to urge that we do something good for the late Mr. Matiba and his family. Thank you very much."
