    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, let me also add my voice to the rather sad and sudden demise of our colleague, Sen. Prengei, who was a Member of this House. He was a brilliant young man. He carried out his responsibilities with dignity and decorum. He was able to reach to many other sides of the divide of this House. He was also able to mingle and accept guidance and advice at some stage during the course of his work. I saw him as a man who had a mission to prosecute. Indeed, he represented the Ogiek Community and in fact the minority communities in general throughout the country of Kenya, once again testifying that this House takes care of the minority groups as we should and in accordance with our Constitution. His family is still young and they are people with a future that they look forward to. The moment that future is a bit blunted because they have lost a star, somebody who was able to carry them through to the early teenage, they should accept and scale the problems of this world. Seeing how the widows stood in the church and during the funeral, I believe and trust that they will carry the mantle of rearing and caring about those young children who have a tremendous future. His parents were totally devastated because the young man was their hope and expectation in life but suddenly, he was no more. That reminds us of the problems we have with our roads and the sides of roads which are not well done therefore creating potential dangers for casualties. Indeed, we lost a valuable Member of this Senate. My condolences go to the wider family of Prengei. The brothers looked decent; people who are polished and willing to go an extra mile. Even when they were struck with the tragedy, they still kept their cool. My condolences on behalf of Kisii County and our people in general, let me pass condolences to the family of the late Prengei. May the Almighty God sustain and keep them well until such a time we will meet again."
