    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the people of Navakholo, my family and on my own behalf, allow me to pass my sincere condolences to the family and the people of Matungu following the demise of my colleague, Hon. Murunga Justus. Back at home, Hon. Murunga is my neighbour. My constituency, that of Hon. Washiali and that of Hon. Murunga boarder one another. To me, Hon. Murunga was a dear friend. We interacted. He visited my constituency, and actually the last time he was in my constituency, we were doing Harambee for the Catholic Church. He came and supported me dearly. I have also severally been to his constituency. Mine is just to say this great man had two peculiar characteristics. One, Hon. Murunga would rather leave the meeting early, but he would never let you down when it comes to an appointment. He was one serious man who kept time. When I was the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, he was one of the reliable Members whom I could know that tomorrow we would have quorum and indeed, we had the quorum. Hon. Murunga’s other character was friendship. He never knew one single party. From the time he joined this Assembly, he treated himself as a leader and cut across the political divide. He was a friend to every legislator in this House and that made me to really look at Hon. Murunga as a leader who would go miles, and who would take the people of Matungu far. With that point, and in line with the task you have given me, through the PSC, to chair the committee of his funeral, I will do that task honourably and seek the support of my colleagues in terms of planning, so that we can move and let the funeral of this great man, Hon. Murunga, move on well. Just to remind colleagues, the only living kingdom we have in the country is the Wanga Kingdom. Mumia Nabongo has a shrine where all of us can go and visit. It is domiciled in Matungu. So, this great man is in the lineage of Nabongo and he will be laid down honourably to follow the suit of King Nabongo of Mumias. With those very many words, may God rest his soul in eternity."
