    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I start by thanking and congratulating Sen. Mwaura for bringing this Motion, and Sen. Kang’ata for seconding it. Listening to their passionate submissions, I admit that I am one of those that Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko has mentioned that might not deeply understand because we did not experience this period in which the late hon. Kenneth Njindo Matiba lived. It was humbling listening to Sen. Mwaura. I realise that as young people, a lot has been lost, and we do not know our history. There is nowhere in any history lesson I learnt about what this great leader has done for Kenyans. As rightly said by other Senators who have spoken before me, we live in this period of peace, where we express ourselves and the people decide. I did not know that he is the one who came up with that and have no idea what he went through. To celebrate him, in as much as we are pushing for the Murang’a University of Technology be renamed, I feel like it is not enough. I wish for more after listening to these submissions today. I hope that Sen. Mwaura can push for a little bit more for this national leader. This is because his sacrifice cannot be understated. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would want to say so much, but cannot because a lot has already been said. However, I celebrate the fact that he put so much into education. To me, that is the first sign of a transformational leader. We have many leaders yet a whole lifetime could pass without them having left a mark somewhere. This is a leader who made mark after mark. He was a true transformational leader who wanted to empower the people that he led through education and employment in private practice."
