I knew him because I started following politics from way back. I knew when he was expelled. He was a person who stood by what he believed in. When he was expelled from the Kenya African National Union (KANU), it was about the drama that was happening in the country. The change that was required at that time was the late Hon. Koech's vision. He did not believe in dictatorship. He believed in democracy and making things work in this country. I was once with the late Hon. John Koech. Unfortunately, we were in the opposition at that time, and was appointed by the late President Kibaki to serve in his Government.

"content": " Hon. Speaker, on my behalf and that of the people of the Dagoretti South Constituency, I pass condolences to the family of the late Hon. John Koech, a consummate leader. He served a life that has left a legacy for his people and the country. As I pass these condolences, I also want to bring a notice to this House that Nairobi County has just lost the MCA for Kariobangi North, Hon. Joel Munuve, a very passionate young leader. The late Hon. Joel Munuve was known to me for many years. He first vied in 2007 when we were part of a big movement, the Gen X revolution back then, when we were clamouring for space for young people in leadership. I dare say that our movement was not faceless, leaderless and formless. Some ended up taking positions in Parliament. The late Joel Munuve ended up as a member of the county assembly (MCA) for Nairobi City County. However, the death of Hon. Joel Munuve is a curious death, especially at a time when he was raising pertinent issues about the leadership and the goings-on in City Hall. Three days before his death, Hon. Joel Munuve dared to collect signatures for the impeachment of the Governor of Nairobi City County. He had said that he was going to reveal damning information about the goings-on in City Hall. So, even as we say pole to the family of the late MCA Joel Munuve, I urge this House to call upon the investigative authorities to not gloss over this matter. It is a matter that might be having serious interests that go very high- up. I do not want to place the blame anywhere. That should be left to the investigative authorities. All I am asking is that we ensure that the death of Hon. Munuve is investigated to the fullest and that no stone left unturned. We should not imagine that the issues that the late Hon. Munuve was canvassing have no connection to the death of a very passionate leader who was serving Nairobi City County who had very good ideas, was very reform-minded and transformative, and he was a seeker for integrity in Nairobi City Hall. I, thank you, and may his soul rest in eternal peace."
