    "content": "Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health. Under his stewardship, the Health Bill of 2015 was passed into law. The late Sen. (Dr.) Machage was an astute, humorous, humble and distinguished leader. As a Member of the Speaker’s Panel, he was steadfast and a stickler to the Standing Orders and parliamentary practice. He possessed impeccable passion for public service and devotion not only to the people of Migori County, but this nation, Kenya, whenever he was called upon to do so. He will be remembered for relentlessly advocating for the rights of minority groups and especially the Kuria People. In 2018, the late Sen. (Dr.) Machage was appointed and posted as Kenya’s High Commissioner to Nigeria covering Nigeria, Benin, Sierra Leone and Togo. During his tenure as the High Commissioner, the late Sen. (Dr.) Machage served with honour and distinction. Indeed, this can be attested by Members of Kenya delegation to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association-Africa Region Conference that was held in Abuja Nigeria in November, 2021. He effectively facilitated the delegation that was led by the Rt. Hon. Speaker of the National Assembly and the Chairperson of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association-Africa Region, Hon. Justin Muturi, EGH, MP."
