"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to condole with the family of a man who might be little known to many of us because of the time he served in this Parliament, but also because of the way he decided to run his life after politics. The late Hon. Motari happened to be my neighbour in Trans Nzoia, and I have known him as a selfless man. Other than the donations of land for the Catholic Church, Hon. Motari also offered to give us land where we built the second buying centre in Cherangany Tea Factory. When I look back at the life of this man, it reminds me that it is not riches that one possesses which matters, but it is the heart to give and serve the people which is also very important. After his ambition in politics, Hon. Motari retired to the village in Sitatunga Location where he tirelessly served the community as a Church leader and as a member of many development committees in Cherangany. His way of life reminds me of how best you can leave a legacy behind without necessarily doing big things, but doing the small things which remain with the people that come after you. With those few remarks, on behalf of the people of Bomachoge Borabu and Sitatunga Location where the late Hon. Motari and I live, I pass my condolences to the family and pray for them. I wish to urge leaders that we have the opportunity to serve and so, let us serve the people tirelessly. It is not how much we possess, but how much we are committed to share with others. May his soul rest in eternal peace."
