I join my colleagues and the rest of Kenyans in condoling with the family of the late, Sen. (Dr.) Wilfred Machage, the immediate High Commissioner of Kenya to Nigeria. I had the opportunity to serve with Sen. (Dr.) Machage in the 10th Parliament. He was a leader, friend and a champion of minority rights. In him, Kenyans have lost a good Kenyan who actually worked across the board; across ethnic and religious lines. He served Kenyans well. He was a very humorous person. He talked about things that benefitted this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I condole with the rest of the family. At this trying moment, let them be strong because life has come to an end. Death is a must but the Hon."}
