Makali Mulu","speaker":{"id":1955,"legal_name":"Benson Makali Mulu","slug":"benson-makali-mulu"},"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Allow me to join my colleagues in conveying my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Hon. Waititu. I got to know this great man when we joined this Parliament in 2013. As my colleagues have said, Hon. Wakapee was a very generous man. Anytime you met him, you always felt like you have known him for many years. I remember when he came back from India; he became a champion on matters on cancer. How it has turned out that he has died just two years after coming back from India is unfathomable. This is because he lived a very positive life and everybody thought that cancer could not kill this great man. But here we are mourning him after cancer took a toll on him. I can only wish the family well and pray that the Almighty God comforts and strengthens them during these difficult times. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Amen."}
