    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to make a personal statement under Standing Order No 53, in order to express my gratitude to this House. I thank hon. Members, Hon. Speaker, Board of Management and the staff for standing with me following the sad passing on of my dear husband, Amb. Nicholas Murathe Mugo. This is the first time I am coming to the House in this new year. It is still new to me. I first thank the Speaker, Hon. Lusaka, for personally attending the memorial service of my husband and the Deputy Speaker, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar who also came to our house several times. Though not in this House, the Speaker of the National Assembly personally visited me the same evening when my husband passed on. I personally thank our Acting Deputy Majority Whip. She came home and I know she organised a lot here because many of Members sent her to my home to console and also to bring some material support. I thank all the hon. Members for the great contribution to support the expenses, prayers and visits, for those who came personally. I cannot really thank you enough. I thank the Senate Board of Management, led by the very able Clerk of the Senate who is also the Secretary to the Parliamentary Service Commission. He led a delegation to the house and I was very touched. I also thank our many staff members, Secretariat and our Standing Committee on Health, of which I am a member for visiting us. I cannot thank you enough. Although I have not been coming physically, I have been attending via Zoom. I wanted to come and give my thanks personally to all of you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, what touched me most is to see all of us. People think that we are divided. Those who are in different camps, those who are in Azimio la Umoja"
