    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to join my colleagues to condole with the family of the late Paul Koinange. He was a Member of Parliament and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. He was working on some of the most pertinent issues in Kilifi. I had presented a Petition on the Pemba Community and within the period before his death, we were working with him on that. I would want to appreciate the passion with which he took his job and the heart in which he went into to say: “We would like to help the people of Kilifi and the Pemba Community in this country.” He went out of his way. Apart from looking at Parliament, he even went to the Department of Immigration, talked to the Cabinet Secretary and even promised that he would talk to the President about it outside the work that he was doing, so that the people of Kilifi would get that opportunity. So, I really appreciate the work that he did. He was a friend to some families in Kilifi and reminiscenced mostly when we met. We became good friends towards his end because of the work we were doing together. I will miss a chairperson who took his work seriously, one who would not want to let down the country and one who would stand firm to ensure that Government programmes work to help the community. Therefore, I condole with his family and urge all the Members who chair committees to emulate the hard work, dedication and the spirit of nationhood that Hon. Paul Koinange embraced. I thank you. May God rest his soul in eternal peace."
