    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Unlike many who have spoken, for the longest time I only read about Sen. Haji as a Provincial Commissioner (PC) when I was growing up. I was fortunate to meet him later on in 2011, then 2012, when I was his party chair. It was interesting, because at that time he was 72 years old and I was 27 years old. It was just the numbers that were inverted. He, together with Hon. G.G Kariuki made a habit of having lunch with me once a month, because they were guiding me. You can imagine chairing a party of people older than your parents. It was very tough, but he really encouraged and mentored me during those times. I remember that many people had said that these young and inexperienced guys will make us lose, but he encouraged me. When we came to Parliament after the election in August 2014, I was in the National Assembly, and he was in the Senate. He, together with Sen. Musila, who were very close friends, called me in Washington D.C. to take a walk. We took a walk and they sat me down at a restaurant. I remember that we were having tea, and he was having olive oil with his bread. He said the first thing they will tell me is that I do that frequently. Olive oil is good for my body.
