    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my own behalf, on behalf of my family and on behalf of the people of Wajir County, I join the House to pay my condolences to the family of Hon. Yusuf Haji and the people of Garissa. It is a big loss to us as Kenyans and the people from the northern region. Hon. Yusuf Haji was a peacemaker. He was very honest. He was the glue that brought many people together. Whenever there was a conflict in the region, he was out there trying to bring people together. For us, it is a very big loss but we pray, because it is Allah who has determined all this. Hon. Speaker, one thing that I have learnt from his death is that in life you do not need to steal so that you can be somebody. He died a very humble Senator, with all the powers that he had. He was an administrator who was very firm, but he was a very honest person. So, for us, leaders, this death should teach us a lesson. We must be humble. We must respect our bosses. Humility is key and that is what his death has taught us. The only gift we can give to Senator Haji today is to pass the BBI so that, as a country, we can move forward and have a united Kenya. That is all he wanted. He never wanted to be rich. He wanted to have one Kenya. That is the gift that we can give him today as the people of Kenya in this House. The second gift we can give is to consider allocating extra seats to Ijara and Habaswein because that is what he really wanted. When Western Province lost Wamalwa, they lost a leader. That is why there is currently a lot of division in Western. In North Eastern, this is a big challenge because we do not have somebody who will fill his shoes. I ask leaders to pray for us, so that the North Eastern region can get another leader like him."
