"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, hon. Matiba excelled in political leadership. He can be accredited with multiparty democracy. He was a great industrialist not only in the hospitality sector, as we were told, but also in education, sports and vast areas. Again, it is remarkable that while he was a rich man, his wealth could be explained. It is not like today when we have these many super rich people, but if you look at where their wealth is coming from, you cannot point a finger on any sector, industry or anything that you can call wealth creation. By celebrating and honouring Hon. Matiba, we will be going back to what we see in this country as a leadership crisis. We will also be pointing to our children that, yes, Kenya has and can produce good leaders, and there is such thing as hard work that creates wealth. The era of hustling – whatever that definition maybe – while it looks attractive and sexy, is one that is very saddening for our young people. In a country where 70 per cent of the population is young, it is disturbing to watch and see that people can create wealth out of something called “hustling.”"
