    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my behalf and on behalf of the people of Kimilili Constituency, I want to send my heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Hon. Justus Murunga. Just like you have said, the late Member lived in my constituency for more than thirty years. We have lost a person who was very close to us and I would want this House to know that the former Member of Parliament for Kimilili Constituency, Hon. Suleiman Kasuti Murunga, is his first cousin. As a constituency, we have lost a person. Hon. Murunga was a firm Member of Parliament specifically when it comes to matters of defending the rights of the people he represented. This death comes barely a few months after we had planned for a visit to his former primary school, Kimilili RC Boys with Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi, who was also an old boy and, indeed, we have lost a person who stood with what he believed in, whether he was right or wrong. It was very difficult to change the mind of Hon. Murunga. We have been moving around with him. I remember the last episode with him that we were in the house of Hon. Malulu for lunch and when the police came in. It is only Hon. Justus Murunga and I who remained behind. Even Malulu took off. Therefore, that explains to you the character of a person in Justus Makokha Murunga.
