    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity on behalf of my family and the people of Alego Usonga to pass our sincere condolences to the family of Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. I met Jakoyo when I was still in the banking industry where I used to work. When I developed interest to join politics, I looked for him and had a meeting with him. I wanted him to guide me on how to maneuver the field of politics. He asked me a few questions and I answered him then he told me: “I think you can be a good politician.” So, running to 2017 when we were out looking for votes, I was aligned to him in the political matrix of Siaya County. Unfortunately, in our camp, I was the only one who was lucky to win with the ODM ticket. Our gubernatorial candidate and the whole team lost. So, he moved to be an independent candidate and I campaigned as an ODM candidate and only met after the elections after I was sworn in at the airport and he was happy to see me. We had a very good conversation. He told me that since I was elected, he had observed a few things which I did which were not going to help me.
