    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the late Hon. Mwendwa also served as an MP for Kitui West Constituency between 1985 and 1988 following the death, through a road accident, of his brother, the late Kitili Mwendwa. The late Hon. Mwendwa was among the key figures who founded the Democratic Party (DP) alongside former President Hon. Mwai Kibaki, when multiparty democracy was introduced in the country in 1981. He quit elective politics in 1982 to focus on other interests including his passion, which is the development of the education sector in the country. Upon leaving elective politics, the late Hon. Mwendwa successfully established Riverside Junior Academy, St. Austin’s Academy and the Coast Academy. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the late Hon. Kyale Mwendwa comes from a family of many firsts. His elder brother, Ngala Mwendwa, was Kenya’s first Minister for Labour. His other brother, Kitili Mwendwa, was Kenya’s first African Chief Justice. His sister in law, Hon. Nyiva Mwendwa, was the first female Cabinet Minister in Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the late Hon. Kyale Mwendwa, a son of the late Kitui paramount chief, Mwendwa Kitavi, will be laid to rest on Friday, this week in his home in Matinyani of Kitui West Constituency. May the soul of the late Hon. Kyale Mwendwa rest in eternal peace. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
