@NelsonHavi Retweeted Citizen TV KenyaThere goes our Julius Malema. Thank you Mama for giving him the courage to name the killers of Kenneth Matiba. #RIPKennethMatiba 

 @PresidentKE As we mourn Hon. Matiba and celebrate his great life, we should appreciate that our solutions as a country do not lie in changing or reviewing the constitution but in embracing each other and focusing on development as opposed to politics #RIPKennethMatiba

@BenjiNdolo A lot of millenials don't know heroes and details you know why? Because they've been tricked and brainwashed that to know the past is painful, focus only on the future #RIPKennethMatiba

@RailaOdinga It is always hard when asked to eulogise a friend. It is even harder when that friend was a great Kenyan, a strong fighter and a remarkable human being. Today we laid to rest my friend Kenneth Njindo Matiba. A hero, liberator and patriot. Fare thee well Ken. #RIPKennethMatiba
