    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, once again death has robbed this country of another dedicated and down to earth leader. I take this opportunity on my own behalf, that of my family and the people of Vihiga to convey our deepest condolences to the family of our departed colleague and the people of Juja at large. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I knew Mheshimiwa personally. I met him in the last Parliament and we became good friends. He was a close neighbour to my first born sister. Every time I met him here, he brought me greetings from my sister, nieces and nephews from Juja. I interacted with him quite a bit and he had great plans for his people. What I admired most about him was his simplicity. He was a down-to-earth person, and I loved that about him. It is unfortunate that death has taken him before he could fulfill the aspirations that he had for his people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mheshimiwa was brought down by cancer, which has become the biggest killer in our country. Before his death, he was a strong ambassador and advocate for the Government to establish facilities locally that can treat people suffering from cancer. Therefore, if we have any respect for the dead, the Government should go ahead and ensure that we have enough facilities in the counties to take care of our cancer patients. It is unfortunate that he is gone. It is our prayer that the Almighty God will give his family the strength and fortitude to bear the loss and comfort the people of Juja, the National Assembly and Parliament at large. May his soul rest in peace."
