    "content": "Nzenze deserves a befitting tribute. Like many from his generation, he sang timeless songs that are very relevant even today. He sang in perfect Swahili that had African listenership. From his days with the late Daudi Kabaka, they sang Msichana waElimu to Shauri Moyo, and later on independently he sang Angelike, Bibi Agineta,Susanna, Zipora, Amina, Bachalor Boy, Masitsa, among others. He sang throughout Eastern Africa to Mozambique and China. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it so unfortunate that Kenyans will mourn a country music legend and not even spend a minute to pass condolence message to a fallen legend of twist music. Nobody will celebrate our heroes for us. As much as the Government has for a very long time failed musicians in terms of providing them with special social protection, Mzee Nzenze should not be neglected today. There will never be another opportunity to pay him another last respect, he deserves a befitting send off. Mzee John Amutabi Nzenze was laid to rest on Saturday 13th June 2020 at his home in Vihiga County, Hamisi Sub-county at Kaptech. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you."
