    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the people of Funyula Constituency, myself and my family, I stand here at this moment to send my condolences to the people of Matungu for the loss of a dear colleague, Hon, Justus Murunga. It hit me like a thunderbolt. Truth be told, we were very close friends. I first met Hon. Murunga when we were campaigning in 2017. Whenever I would pass to go and rest in a certain facility within Matungu Constituency, being a few kilometres away from Funyula… He was a likeable and jovial man and truly believed in the empowerment of the Luhya people. Whenever I would sit with him in any forum he would talk about the Luhya people and how we could unite and become one team whose voice could be heard all over the country. We also had the opportunity to serve with him in the Joint Committee of Trade, Industry, Cooperatives and that of Agriculture and Livestock when we were dealing with the ill-fated sugar probe. Indeed, he stood out as a man who was so passionate about protecting the sugar sector. I pray that the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace."
