    "content": "Hon. Members, this morning, the nation woke up to sad news regarding the untimely demise of nominated Senator Hon. Victor Prengei. The Hon. Member passed on last night, Monday, 16th August 2021, after being involved in a fatal road accident in Nakuru. The late Senator Prengei was a budding youthful legislator who attended his post- secondary education at Maseno University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics. He later pursued and successfully completed a Master's Degree in Business Administration (Strategic Management) at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in 2017. Hon. Members, at the time of his death, the late Senator Prengei was serving his first term as a Member of Parliament, having been nominated by the Jubilee Party to represent the youth in the Senate. He was an ardent and resourceful Member of the Senate Standing Committee on Energy, the Committee on Devolution and Inter-Governmental Relations and the Powers and Privileges Committee. As a youthful legislator, the late Senator will also be remembered for his active membership in the Bunge Sports Club. Prior to his brief political career, Senator Victor Prengei had previously served as the Chairperson of the Nakuru Land Management Board and a board member of the Betting Control and Licensing Board. It is notable that in the history of Kenya, the late Senator Prengei was the first parliamentarian from the Ogiek community, one of Kenya's indigenous minority communities whose participation in national leadership has been rare. Without a doubt, the youth of this country, the fraternity of Parliament and the nation at large have lost a vibrant, pragmatic, and dedicated leader who had a bright future ahead of him. Hon. Members, we will be informed in due course about the arrangements towards according the fallen legislator a decent send-off. In honour of our departed colleague, the late Senator Victor Prengei, I request that we all stand in our places and observe a moment of silence.
