    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in condoling with the family of the late Kalembe Ndile, his friends and members of The Independent Party (TIP). I served with Hon. Kalembe Ndile in this House in the 9th Parliament. He joined the Government as an Assistant Minister along the way. He was the first MP to invite me to Kibwezi, his constituency, to sort out the squatter situation. That is when I realized his other name was “ sonof a squatter” . We went round and we could see the passion with which he was articulating issues of his constituents on matters of land. We all know him. He had different facets. He was a good example of a free soul, happy in politics, happy in real life and there was never a dull moment with Hon. Kalembe Ndile. I am sure wherever he is; he will be having a good moment with the angels and spirits up there. We would wish that his soul rests in eternal peace and may eternal light shine on him. I also want to associate myself with the sentiments of the Whip and the appeal made earlier by Hon. Musimba that we consider in a compassionate way, how we can escort our departed brother. Once an MP always a Member of this House. Let us stand together with the family and give him a decent send-off and not leave them in bankruptcy because of the ailment that befell him. When called upon, let us do what we need to do. Tomorrow at 2.00 p.m., and on Thursday if we can, let us be there to give him a good send-off."
