    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I join the rest to condole with the family of our dear departed Senator, Yusuf Haji. It is yet another sad day for the Senate. We were hit hard last time, just as we were closing the year, when we lost Sen. Kabaka. Here we are again starting the year with another loss of our dear father, the Senator for Garissa County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the late Sen. Yusuf Haji was my Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. I remember, the first time when I attended the Committee’s the first sitting, I found him seated there, very punctual, and I was late on that day. I really apologized and told him: “To me, you are like my dad. I swear you will never come in and not find me seated as you walk in to discharge your duties”. That is a duty that I did so dutifully because I could not imagine him coming in and finding that I am not present in that Committee. I always made sure that I was on time because of the respect that I had for him. The fact that he was punctual than all of us, looking at his age, it was going to be embarrassing for me to even think him coming in and not finding some of us ready for Committee work. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when he was appointed to serve in the BBI Committee, he told me that because I always came into Committee meetings on time, in case Sen. Sakaja who was the Vice Chairperson was not there, I should hold brief for The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
