    "content": "We have been talking of dynasties. When I look at the Mwendwas, Kyalo Mwendwa was an early educationist. He was a brother to the late Kitili Mwendwa, the first Chief Justice of this country. You are also aware and alive to the fact that the first lady Minister in this country came from this family. This is a family that has brought blessing to my community so much. Those days when education was not known, the late is known in history of the community for having gone to the village and picked every young man who was ready to go to school. His leadership went ahead. He was appointed to the Ministry of Lands, Ministry of Livestock and the Ministry of Water. When I look at such a gentleman dying at the age of 94, it now begs me the question; for how long will we have leaders of this caliber take the burden of this country? I will remember him as a noble gentleman. As a community, we have really lost. However, we have learnt from him and that is why we say he has lived and we are now celebrating his life. I invite Members of Parliament to his funeral. Despite the Coronavirus challenges, please let us give him a good send off. Thank you."
