    "content": "get the copy of the HANSARD to the family because we said a lot of good things about your father when we were eulogizing him. Personally, I come from the North Rift. We knew Sen. Haji as the Provincial Commissioner (PC). Sometimes we joked when he was here and I could refer to him as my boss the PC because that is who he was. He was a man of peace and integrity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I first met him when he was the District Commissioner (D.C) in Trans Nzoia. I believe that Sen. Abdulkadir Haji was already born. In fact, sometimes I looked at him and asked him how many schools his children went to. This is because they were as mobile as his good heart was. Anywhere that needed healing or reconciliation, Sen. Haji was the person. When he came to Trans Nzoia, he came there to lift us back because of an election that had a lot of conflict. I want to say congratulations on behalf of the people of Rif Valley. When he was in Rift Valley, he made a mark by being a very neutral and very just administrator. We believe that that blood is running in Sen. Abdulkadir Haji. Kalenjins believe that a lion cannot give birth to a wolf. We, therefore, believe that he is the lion that was left by Sen. Haji. We believe that his children are lions, they are not wolves. I encourage Sen. Abdulkadir Haji to follow the footsteps of his father from what he did when we had a calamity in this nation. He volunteered the same way his father had a very strong voluntary attitude. I say this out of experience because he changed a lot of things for those of us who worked with him very closely. He himself actually mentored me a lot into leadership. Therefore, he should be the mentor that the people of Garissa want. He should be the leader that the people of Garissa need. He should stay in the shoes of his father and be the national leader that all of us are expecting. Thank you family and the leadership from Garissa, because this is a very big statement that he has made to the nation of Kenya. In future, I think we should be seeing other parts of the country talking in a cohesive manner. This is because conflicts that come in within a county do not help anybody. I congratulate Garissa for a show of unity and love for their late leader. With those remarks, congratulations, Sen. Abdulkadir Haji, and welcome to the House."
