"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, on my behalf, my family and the people of Nyamira, I take this opportunity to pass my condolences to the family of the late Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka was a very special friend to me. Other than Sen. Cherargei, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Waqo, he is one of the few Senators whom I have been privileged to host at my home in Nyamira. He has shared a meal with my mum. What stands out from the other three is that he even conducted a harambee for my church called Motagara Seventh Day Adventist (SDA). Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka and I were privileged to work for the same law firm, Kingori, Kariuki and Company Advocates. It is the staff in that law firm that interested me to know Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka; they described him as a very happy and jovial person. In this House, we cannot compete for anybody who is as friendly or as jovial as Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. We cannot find a man who was as bold, brave and courageous as Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. We have lost a great friend and a man who had a lot to contribute to the growth of this House as a Senate and the people of Machakos. Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka was not the richest man in this House, but he was the most generous. He was free to give to a social cause; church harambees and when people had died. I hope that the people of Machakos will consider rewarding a member of the family, may it be a son or daughter with that Senatorial seat of Machakos. May God bless his soul in eternal peace."
