    "content": "the time my daughter is that age, it will not be a shock to have a female president in Kenya or East Africa.” Madam Deputy Speaker, as I finish, President Uhuru Kenyatta made us immensely proud by the respect he gave in going there to stand with our brothers. It is just an imaginary line between us and Tanzania. We are brothers. The white man left us with an imaginary line between our countries. It is like when you tether a goat and then you take away the rope, the goat does not leave that radius. We must start thinking in terms Pan-Africa, we must start thinking East Africa as one people, despite these imaginary lines. We have lost many friends due to COVID-19. I just want to mention a few. I have many friends in Tanzania, and I would like to urge them that they need to take COVID-19 more seriously. This week, I have lost Rev. Wambua of the deliverance church in Donholm. He was a very good friend who I was talking to and the other day we laid him to rest. We have lost Lorna Irungu, who was a director at Gina Din Media Group and a media personality. She was larger than life. If you look at everyone who was talking about her, she was a friend to many people, but we lost her due to COVID-19, despite her fighting lupus for 20 years. Pole sana to Edwin Macharia and the family. We have lost Robin Njogu, who I used to call the king of radio from the time he was in Capital FM, then he went to Nation FM and Citizen FM. He was a young man. We have lost the executive director of the Jubilee Party, James Waweru. He was a former Principal Secretary (PS) and Provincial Commissioner (PC). Let us be more serious about these measures. I urge our brothers in Tanzania that denialism will not help us at this time. Let us do whatever we must do. Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank you and I record our deep condolences to our brothers and sisters in Tanzania. Thank you."
