  To the family of both the late Tom and now Pamela Mboya, my prayers are with your family and those left behind. The people from Lake Victoria Region are great. Nobody will ever, ever, ever, destroy our spirit. Just look at what Barack Obama has done. Barry will succeed. Mark my words. God bless Mboya family.

  It's my heart felt condolences for the family of Tom and Pam Mboya. Kenyatta took Tom's life while he was young. It was a set back to all Kenyans, missing a man of that calibre. Moi and Kibaki refused to recognise Tom Mboya's contributions. Pam, rest in peace. God Bless Your Soul.

  I pray for strength for the Mboya family. Stay strong and continue the good work that your parents began. Mom has gone to continue the work she was not able to complete here. Stay strong, be prayerful and wrap your arms around each other. This will make Mom proud.

  Rest in peace Auntie Pam! We will miss you very much! You were the mother of the nation during tough times especially in your own life! You did great things for the country and its people. You were humble and considerate of those that were unfortunate. We remember what you did to honor the late Munyao the brave kenyan that climbed Mt Kenya on Independence day dec 12 1963. Ibed gi kwe!

  Mrs Mboya was the essence of dignity and grace under a tremendous burden placed on her young family by an assassin's bullet. Those of us born after the unfortunate killing of Tom Mboya remain in awe of what could have been possible for the whole country had he lived. The truth is Mrs Mboya was our Corretta King - resilient, defiant, determined with a heart that forgives. RIP Mama Kenya.

  May God bless this lady to the fullest. Her husband brought president Obama's father to study in USA. If it were not for her husband, there would have been be no president Obama. It's my hope that the country will keep her dream alive by making it a requirement for elementary school children to read about her achievements.
