    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to join you in condoling the family of Sen. Ben Oluoch Okello. On behalf of my family and persons with disabilities in this nation, I say sorry to the family and friends of Sen. Okello. I also pass my condolences to the people of entire Migori County for losing a person who had a passion to serve them. He had a vision for them. It is sad that the cruel hand of death had to take a toll on him at this particular time when he had a vision for his people. I hope that God will give a replacement that is going to ensure that the vision of the Senator is passed on so that his legacy is seen. I empathize with Hellen, Ruth and the children of the late Senator because there is a big gap that has been left by the Senator. I am sure that the Senate will intervene so that the children and the family are helped because there is a big gap that has been left. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Senator who was committed and had a vision. He had even enrolled for his Masters Degree. It is so unfortunate that he was fully-fledged. He was marked for leadership but it had to go the way God wanted. Death is very painful. However, when it happens, there is nothing that we can do. We just have to accept what God has allowed. God has given us life, but it is painful when he decides to take it away. We have to accept the painful result of death. We cannot meet our maker without going through the cruel hand of death. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fully join you in condoling his family and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party that gave him the ticket to contest the elective position in the Senate. Going for an elective position in Migori County was not an easy task, but he braved his way and managed to garner a lot of votes. May God rest his soul in peace."
