"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought it was sabotage. It was that paradox that prompted me to ask him: “You are standing this way, yet you are the closest man to the Executive?” We were with Sen. Madzayo and others. We told him to intervene on our behalf. He told me: “I am not picking anybody’s call or taking anybody’s directions. I am firm and focused to vote for the people of Garissa.” In my own confession because Sen. Haji was my friend, there were things he was unhappy with in the BBI Report. I do not think he authored everything in the BBI Report. There must be things compromised from other quarters. It was a let down that the things we achieved as “ team Kenya” in this Chamber, which he participated, found themselves in the BBI Report in terms of the per capita income application on division of revenue. This is something we must ponder. If we believe that he was a man of equity, we must, as leaders, ensure that the things we do, will protect all communities equitably. I wish Noordin, his brother, the rest of the sisters and the extended family God’s grace at this difficult time. Sen. Haji’s history will forever be remembered in this country. There are things I learnt from Sen. Haji that I wish to apply in my personal life. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
