    "content": "invest in things like land, the late Hon. Matiba invested in businesses and offered employment. He was a forward-looking person. I was in Standard Five in 1991 and whenever I heard the name of the late Hon. Matiba, I would get butterflies in the stomach. We were so passionate about him. He was the only leader I could lay down my life for. I always felt a lot of passion whenever I heard is name. I recall one day when I came home from primary school and heard some music that was being sung in his praise, I started to cry. When the late Hon. Matiba is mentioned, the people from Murang’a County feel like crying. Our county has produced several notable people, for example, the late Hon. Michuki and the late Hon. J.J Kamotho but none equals the late Hon. Matiba because of his sacrifices and what he did for this country. Up to now, the people of Murang’a County always ask us whether we are able to fill the shoes of Hon. Matiba and my reply has always been a consistent; “no”. His shoes are hollow. We have to keep them aside and acknowledge that he was a great man, whom from where I sit, cannot be replaced. What is the new generation doing to make sure that the late Hon. Matiba’s name does not go down in vain? One, we urge the Government to hasten the Kshs1 billion compensation which the court declared, be paid to his family. Of course, it is not sufficient. We know that the late Hon. Matiba’s investments were quite vast but that will go a long way to assist the family. Two, we are also telling our people that we must always forgive and that"
