    "content": "In fact, it has made me to reflect on the possibilities of what we can achieve when we put unity of purpose above divisive partisanship. We have before us an opportunity to set aside anything that divides us and work together to confront the challenges that we face during this pandemic period. As I draw to a close, I want to talk about someone who means so much to me. To the hon. Senators here, my father was a friend and a colleague. To the people of Garissa County, he was their son, elder and servant. To Kenyans, he was a long serving public servant. To me, he was my father. Please, allow me to speak about him briefly. Hon. Members, I am humbled to follow into this House, in the footsteps of my father. He was my mentor whose values and views I carry with me to this honourable Chamber. I, thank you, Hon. Members. Upon his passing on 15th February, 2021, the hon. Senator, Senior Counsel, Sen. Orengo, moved a Motion in this House, paying tribute to my father. I thank him."
