    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to register my condolences and those of the people of Uasin Gishu County, and sympathies for the people of the United Republic of Tanzania at this very difficult time as they prepare to bury the late President, Dr. John Pombe Magufuli. Neighbours are neighbours. For those of us who believe in the Bible, we must love our neighbour the way we love ourselves, and Tanzania is our neighbour forever. I served in the East African Legislative Assembly, and I saw the importance of neighbourhood. I condole with the people of Tanzania as our neighbours. I pass my condolences to the family, Mama Janet, and the whole republic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be brief. One characteristic that attracted my attention to the Late Magufuli is that of humility. In fact, Magufuli was an usher in his church before he became the president. He did not stop ushering when he became the president. That is one lesson that we must learn in the East African Community (EAC). Humility does not remove you from being the Excellency you are when you become the President. Humility can endear you to many and bring you breakthroughs you would not otherwise have had. The humility of Dr. John Pombe Magufuli has been clearly seen in the various stopovers when the body has been displayed for public viewing. We have seen many Tanzanians mourn in the streets and stadia."
