    "content": "He was a young person who had progressive Bills which were discussed by this hon. House. We now wonder what will happen now that he has left us. Somebody out there is crying for the people of Ogiek. We have a vision that one day, the people of Ogiek will be one of the most progressive and developed in the Republic. Madam Deputy Speaker, we must continue to carry out the dream of ensuring that all marginalized communities get their due recognition not withstanding being small in numbers. In our late brother, we saw the spirit of a community that is rising and taking its children to school. Look at the history of this young person. He came from a community that has few schools. However, he was able to go to school and become the most educated person from that community. By that sheer good luck, he was nominated to this hon. House. We shall miss his contributions. I urge those who come from Nakuru County to bring back another Prengei; another warrior for the Ogiek Community. We need a person who represents the small communities so that we continue to have a House that is duly represented from all parts of this Republic. Madam Deputy Speaker, Kenya is not about the large communities. It is not an idea that has to be manifested or represented by those who come from big communities. I am proud to come from Mt. Kenya, but that does not entitle me to discriminate small communities and not give them due recognition. When I look at the Ogieks, Ilchamus and others in Coast and semi-arid places, it is in the spirit of Sen. Prengei that we see progress where anyone can rise from wherever he is to reach to this honourable House. With those few remarks, I pray that his soul rests in peace."
