Godfrey Osotsi","speaker":{"id":13171,"legal_name":"wilson sossion","slug":"wilson-sossion"},"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. On my own behalf and my family, I also want to pass my sincere condolences to the family of Senator Victor Prengei, who was a good friend of mine. I have known him as a very quiet, soft-spoken person and someone who had a big vision as a leader in this country. I happen to have shared experiences with the late Senator when he had problems with his party Jubilee, on how to navigate the challenges. This is because as you are aware, I went through the same challenges with my party and I succeeded. I am happy he listened to me and has died being a Senator. I pray for him and his family. I hope Jubilee party will consider getting a replacement from the same community. This is because Victor was the very first Member from the Ogiek community. I think it will be nice to return the same favour to that community."}
