    "content": "I may not have worked closely with him, but I know that the leaders who served in the first cabinet were very committed. If they were holding leadership positions at the moment, all the nasty things happening in our country would not be there. As the current leaders, we have a lot to learn from them even as we lead the way for the leaders of tomorrow. The biggest tribute that we can give to this hero and the others who have gone before him is our change of attitude towards our country. We should be patriotic in the true sense of it for tomorrow‘s leaders to say the same of us. The leaders of yester years are dying in poverty yet they contributed a lot. These leaders brought freedom to our country and as the law makers, we should not be crying about it. We ought to come up with a Bill that should be passed in this House and the other House. That Bill should state how those leaders, who have gone before us, can be taken care of. I hear that they are about eight or less. Surely, we can take care of them. The ‗Super‘ Senator or any other person can come up with a Bill and I will greatly support it. We can then challenge the Government to take care of those people. I strongly support this Motion and I am happy that we have given tribute to such a great son of Kenya and son of Africa."
