    "content": "policies and stocking them in shelves of development partners and donors. But it is a question of moral purpose, a moral realm, that which only the truly great, Hon. Ken was capable. His political instinct of truth conviction, providence and above all, patriotism came long before he was thrust in the political limelight by the people of Kibra through the keys of Kibra Foundation that continue to support needy bright students. When he came to the august House, he never forgot who he was fighting for. He was solid with unwavering conviction that he stood with even when political tides were not in his favour. He brushed off the jibes and jabs of his jealous critics and effortlessly disarmed them with his beaming smile. He brought a new assurance to Kenyans and the people he represented. He was not only Kibra’s important MP, as it is but he was a nation’s great leader. In a time of average mean he stood taller than anyone else. In a time of politicians, he proved himself a statesman and tabled Bills that would see the scourge of cancer defeated. He dutifully demonstrated against injustices and held a fair share of teargas which people like me believed things could and should happen differently in our land. Thanks to such sacrifices and selflessness. Kenya is back and on track towards becoming a model of democracy and prosperity of other African nations. His eloquence and diplomatic style of approaching affairs will forever remain unraveled. Okoth taught us the power of action but also strongly preached the power of ideas, the significance of reason and arguments. The need to study not only those you agree with but also those you do not agree with."
