    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I was not a colleague of the late Kyale Mwendwa, but he signed my CPE certificate, he was the Director of Education. In fact, we were the first class of Certificate of Primary Education (CPE) because the class before us did Kenya Primary Education (KPE). He was the Director of Education then. I remember his name very well. Let me join my colleague from Kitui and the people from Kitui in mourning this great son of Kenya who has contributed to this country immensely as an educationist, parliamentarian and a cabinet minister. At the time, very few Kenyans could take the job of becoming the Director of Education. That was more than being a politician. For me, being a director or being a professional was something very important to remember. I take the opportunity on behalf of the people of Mandera to condole with the people of Kitui and the family. I urge them to have courage during this trying moment. When Nyiva Mwendwa became the first woman Minister of Kenya, I was a civil servant. We took pride in her becoming the first woman Minister of Kenya. She led a delegation to Beijing and my wife was in that delegation. We were very proud that for the first time, there was a lady Minister in Kenya. I happened to have visited her home in Kitui with Moody Awori who was the then Vice-president and the Cabinet Minister in the Ministry of Home Affairs and I served as the Permanent Secretary (PS) under him. May God Rest his Soul in Eternal Peace. Thank you."
