    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a minute to also condole the family of our late brother, colleague and friend, Sen. Ben Oluoch. On my own behalf, my family, the people of Bungoma County and the fraternity of Ford Kenya Party, I wish to send my sincere condolences to the family of Sen. Ben Oluoch. The Senate of the Republic of Kenya records Sen. Ben Oluoch as the fourth colleague to lose while in session, after the late Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, Sen. Boy Juma Boy and the late Sen. Otieno Kajwang. We will definitely and surely miss Sen. Ben Oluoch for his unassuming character, humble demeanour and friendly disposition towards every colleague. He has not had enough time to make an indelible mark on the footprints of this Senate, but the few times he spoke here or interacted with us at individual levels, he displayed a flair of intelligence, commitment and patriotism that is not common in many of us. We have lost Ben Oluoch because of what has publicly been said to be cancer and I join those who have contributed ahead of me to call for a concerted effort not only to arrest the scourge of cancer but all other diseases in the country that kill people in every direction. Malaria, dysentery and diarhoea are resurging back yet these are preventable diseases but they are now killing Kenyans in their thousands. We would like to see our health sector revamped and run in a manner that is better than it is currently being done with all manner of allegations about misconduct and professional misbehaviour to the extent that medics are stealing from the dead. May the good Lord rest Ben Oluoch’s soul in eternal peace."
