    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank you for giving me this chance to pay tribute to a fallen colleague, Hon. Paul Koinange, who was the Member for Kiambaa. Hon. Paul was a grandson of the renowned leader, the late Senior Chief Koinange wa Mbiyu, father to the then powerful Minister of State, Mbiyu wa Koinange. He worked as a civil servant before opting to venture into business and later vied for Kiambaa Constituency. He was elected in 2013 and 2017, which demonstrates that he was in touch with the people of Kiambaa and they must have appreciated his record of development. During the 11th Parliament, Hon. Paul served in the Departmental Committee of Health. In the 12th Parliament, he was the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security until his demise. It is good to note that Hon. Paul was loyal to his Jubilee Party and Party Leader, His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta while undertaking his work. We know him as a very conscious person, a stickler to processes and procedures. We can only describe him as a focused, hardworking and disciplined person. He was social and kind. Hon. Speaker, I remember he was a chairman of sorts. He was not only Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee, but also Chairman of the Payer Breakfast and the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), where I belonged and where we worked very closely to ensure that the BBI was understood by the people. Hon. Speaker, allow me to take this opportunity to thank you for according me the opportunity to Chair the ad hoc committee on the funeral of Hon. Paul. I served in that Committee with the following seven Members: (i) Hon. (Ms.) Fatuma Gedi"
