    "content": "during his time as a provincial administrator, in Parliament and in the Cabinet. I knew the late Nyachae when he served in Nyandarua as a public administrator. When we were young in school, we had to go and line up every time the administrators visited and I could see his discipline. I eventually met him as the Minister for Finance when I was a Member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) and in the leadership of the ICPAK. He supported some initiatives of ICPAK. I met him in this House when I became an MP in December, 2002 and we served together as MPs. He joined me in the Cabinet from 2005 to 2007. Therefore, I have seen him in many facets including administration, Parliament, Treasury and as a colleague in the Cabinet. He was not only a friend to me but a mentor to many. He was a dedicated Kenyan who was proud to be Kenyan and proud to serve the national course. I know we will all miss him. When he retired from politics in 2007, he never stopped his farming activities. I visited his home in Kisii and he was a great supporter of culture in Kisii through the cultural week that he invited me to attend. I believe he is an example of the kind of people we need in this country to create change. We will miss him. I join Kenyans who are wishing that his soul rests in eternal peace. May his family find solace and comfort to bear the loss. The people of Kisii should know that the rest of Kenya stands with them to mourn this great son. Thank you."
