I served with the late Hon. (Dr.) Machage in the previous Senate. He was a strong and promising leader and was also social in the House. He fought for healthcare rights, more so, the Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Although I know that that has not worked as expected, he had a better structure for this country, and I hope this country will remember him in his death. When associating with people, the late Hon. (Dr.) Machage never showed that he was from a minority community. I know it is a big loss to the Kuria Community because he was a strong pillar as a leader that the Kuria people depended on. I hope we will get somebody else who will fit in his shoe. I also hope the Government will find a space for the family to take over what he has left behind because it is not easy especially for the family. However, that is God's will which we cannot question. I pray that God strengthens the family as they prepare a befitting sendoff for our former colleague who was dear to this House when he served as the Senator for Migori."}
