    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he was very dedicated to his service. He served the people of Garissa diligently and the people of Kenya at large with integrity. He was made the Chairperson of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), and he took it up because of his passion and love for this country. Therefore, I think he was a true patriot. He wanted the country to remain united and for peace and harmony to prevail. He was a patriot and a servant leader. We have lost a great man and leader. I do not think words can make up for what we will miss in him. As a young person, I do not want to take this for granted. I am privileged to serve in this House with very many great young men and women. Therefore, as Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. said, as young people we do not take it for granted. We seek your guidance and you sometimes mentor us, lead us in whatever thing we ask of you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this chance to thank each and every one of them. As a young person in this House, I have benefitted a lot from the wise counsel. Finally, I will miss him, seated in front of me. Whenever he used to come to the House, he would just say “hello,” and I would reply and say “hello, sir.” I will greatly miss him indeed, but I believe he has gone to sleep with angels. May his soul rest in peace. I thank you."
