    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to condole with the family of Sen. Haji and the great people of Garissa County. A lot has been said about Sen. Haji. Indeed, he was a great leader, he was humble, soft spoken, firm in what he believed in, and what he did as a leader. A lot has also been said about his loyalty and respect for authority. That is something a young leader as myself can pick from him and learn a great deal from his style of leadership. He was very respectful. When it comes to respect, most of the time, they say respect is two way, but when you look at Sen. Haji’s age and my age, we have a very big age gap. Therefore, you would imagine that I am the one who is supposed to respect him more. However, when I interacted with him, he respected me as a young leader, always encouraged me, gave me guidance and I loved that about him. On another important note that I found interesting, is that he was great company. There was a time we travelled to Jordan together, we accompanied the Speaker there, and during dinner, I was amazed that he would crack jokes. I found myself laughing at his jokes and that is when I said to myself, “oh my, he is really great company.” I would never imagine that because when I came here as a Senator, the first year, I was really amazed, respectful, and fearful of him. However, when I travelled with him, I realized that he has a different side of him. He was really great company. He loved to crack jokes here and there, and I really admired that.
