    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, with your permission I wish to inform the House that tomorrow is the day we will go to Mikuyu in Masinga for the final resting of our brother and colleague. We will leave the City at 7.00 in the morning. I thank the Secretariat for the great support they have given the family and the organizing Committee to make sure that we give Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka a befitting send-off. Transport for Senators has been arranged. We will meet here in Parliament at 6.30 a.m. Since the proceedings and happenings around Parliament are determined by our Standing Orders and traditions, we have agreed as a Committee that was appointed by the Speaker to coordinate the burial, that we will begin a new tradition in this Parliament. This is that when a Member passes on, it is only fitting that as they depart, they have an opportunity to be brought to Parliament for colleagues who will not be able to go to the morgue and the burial to pay their last respect. We have agreed that tomorrow, we will pass by here with the body of our friend, for people to just pay their respects; meet and join with other colleagues, so that we leave Parliament as a convoy to Masinga through Thika Road. We expect to be in Masinga at around 10.00 a.m. when the programme will start and run through until around 4.00 p.m. when we intend to bury our friend. This is just a call to our colleagues to kindly make that sacrifice tomorrow. Wake up early in the morning, and at 6.30 a.m., let us all be here. A few of us who are in the Committee will go to the Lee Funeral Home to bring the body. We will join our colleagues here and together go to bury our brother and friend. Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the time to eulogize my friend and brief Members on what we are doing. May the soul of my brother Sen. (Dr.) Boniface Mutinda Kabaka rest in God’s eternal peace."
