    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join you and colleagues in sending messages of condolence to the families of our departed colleagues, the Hon. Yusuf Haji and the Hon. Oyioka. Hon. Speaker, I want to specifically say that I had the opportunity to know Hon. Senator Yusuf Haji very well. Apart from being a colleague here in Parliament, he has been our Provincial Commissioner (PC) in Western and was very close to our family. He has been described as a nationalist, statesman, very patriotic and an advocate of peace and stability of our country. I had the chance to work with Hon. Yusuf Haji when I was Head of Mission in Somalia as a special representative of the President. Moreover, even during those visits, the ones referred to of 2011, I was in Mogadishu and I received him. The meetings that he had on promotion of the process of reconciliation and stabilisation of Somalia will not be forgotten. He left a mark in the efforts to stabilise Somalia and this will go a long way as the people of Somalia strive to ensure their peace is back to normalcy. Hon. Speaker, as Kenyans, we have lost a pillar. We have lost a strong Kenyan who participated in the BBI process as Chairperson. Unfortunately, he is not going to see it through but we hope, in his honour, we are going to have everybody support the BBI. With those few remarks, we wish the family strength during this period and may their souls rest in peace."
