    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion by Sen. Mwaura. I can safely say that I had a lot of connection and interaction with the late hon. Kenneth Njindo Matiba during the early years of Independence, when some of us were struggling at the university. When I flew back to Nairobi in 1960, in an inaugural flight from India where I did Medicine, the person I found as the Education Officer at Gill House, on Tom Mboya Street, was none other than Kenneth Njindo Matiba. At that time, we were still under the colonial. There was a lady called Anne Brotherton, who was the Senior Education Officer. She would tower over any African who seemed to look forward to a leadership position. Kenneth Matiba was there and earned his rightful position as early as 1960 in a colonial setting. His being in Makerere University was a big inspiration for many others. Some of us went out because there were only few slots at Makerere University. We had to look for other scholarships to study outside the country, and we got them."
