    "content": " Thank you, very much Hon. Speaker. I would like to join you and colleagues here, and on behalf of my family and the people of Kilifi North and Kilifi County in general, to give a sincere condolence to the families of the two deceased colleagues. I would like speak about Sen. Haji who served in the Coast Region as a Provincial Commissioner from 1985. I think it is during his tenure as a Provincial Commissioner there, that a lot of the issues we experience in Coast especially on the land issues were solved. So, we would like to give credit. Sen. Haji up to his time of death was a regular visitor of Kilifi. His son, the Director of Public Prosecutions was born in Kilifi. Every year, they used to come to Kilifi as a family. Around October last year, I had an opportunity to see them in Kilifi. He was a great family man. This was one of the great characters of Senator Haji which I saw. He would bring his whole family, including his grandchildren for holiday in Kilifi. This is one thing that has not been said, but he was a great family man. Above all, I take one lesson from him; he was a great administrator. Everywhere he had served, he left an indelible mark of performance, progress and good leadership. These are traits and character that we need to emulate as we come forward as young leaders."
