"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me join my colleagues to send our condolences on behalf of my family and the people of Kisumu County. Sen. (Dr.) Machage was a great man. I had an opportunity to serve with him in the 10th Parliament and he was a man who, any time that you approached him, he would be willing to listen to you. He contributed immensely, especially during the time when we were discussing the UHC in Parliament. He did well and was very passionate. I used to call him “Migori”. I remember Sen (Dr.) Machage very well because we used to tease each other. He would say that he had a lot of struggles in Migori County because he came from a minority tribe so when he wants to run for any political office, he has to fight for it. The late Sen. (Dr.) Machage was a jovial man. It is unfortunate that God has decided to take him home. I wish he would be alive to see the transformation that will take place after 9th August, 2022. It is a time that he has also been waiting for Kenya to have a good leader. I pray that God may protect his family and the entire Kenya especially the people of Migori who have lost a man that would take a long time to replace him. The late Sen. (Dr.) Machage will also be remembered as one of the pioneers of the Senate. All that he contributed to this House will be cherished for people to know that there was a man called Dr. Machage. May God rest his soul in eternal peace."
