In the government of the people that we shall soon build, we will erect a national monument bearing the names of these selfless comrades who gave their lives simply because they believed Kenya could be better. They marched not for power or privilege, but for a country that works for the good of its people. A country where justice is not reserved for the highest bidder, where politicians compete through ideas instead of hiring goons to terrorise fellow citizens, where public policy creates jobs, lowers the cost of doing business, shifts government spending from consumption to development, fixes our education system, and guarantees every child a fair chance in life. It will stand as a permanent reminder that the freedoms and future we inherit were paid for by ordinary Kenyans who asked for nothing more than a functioning society.
