DR Alfred Mutua Rest in Peace Baba Moi. I remember fondly how you used to stop by Toi Primary school nearly every morning when I was only 9 years old & talk to us. You gave us maziwa ya Nyayo & the spirit of Love, Peace & Unity which we now crave for. You were a statesman & patriotic African.

Ababu Namwamba You touched my childhood, spicing it with maziwa ya nyayo and stirring nationalist music; defined my education and character with 8.4.4 ideals and work ethic; epitomised true meaning of servant leadership. Forever a father of our nation, a fine son of Africa. Rest well Kugo..
