    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As I said, I had the opportunity to attend several functions with Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. For instance, we raised funds at a church in Machakos, where the Speaker was presiding and then he went and hosted us to a wonderful lunch in Machakos Town. He came to our Catholic Church in Daystar and helped us to raise funds. We spent an entire day with him. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka was a lover of trees. We have a forest that he came to plant with us of over 1,000 trees. We call it the forest of Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka in Lukenya. That is how much he loved trees. He planted a lot of trees in Ukambani. I have lost a personal friend, somebody who shared information freely and gave advice when it was required. He was always briefing me to make sure that I work hard in my business and make that it does not get over showered by Senate affairs. He was a good man and hardworking in his practice. He was self-made; the sort of the leader that young people need to emulate. Young people need to understand that you can find your way into the highest level of this House by sheer hard work, commitment and honour in everything that you do. He was really a good example to the young people. He was also very steadfast. As most of my colleagues have said, he was a man of his word. What he said, he meant it and stood by it. I really feel the loss of Sen. Kabaka. I will personally miss him. I feel it for the citizens of Machakos County because he had a vision for them. Madam Temporary Speaker, I pray that his soul may rest in eternal peace and his family may be comforted by the love of God. The man he was, he will always remain and will be. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity."
