    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to condole with the people of Rabai and the family of the late Member of Parliament for the loss of their son. As you mentioned, he was worth being called an honourable legislator. Personally, I did not know him but from what you said about him, I feel we have lost such an honourable Member and a gentleman. He was a legislator with a lot of knowledge and humility. I wish that the party and the constituency will get a good legislator like the one they lost. We all pray that God gives them fortitude to bear the loss. In terms of the business of the House, I agree with Sen. M. Kajwang’. We only have one week to pass serious business. It is not even a whole week. Practically it is today and tomorrow. I do not know whether the other House will be able to pass any legislation from this House, given that they have two days to sit. I urge my colleagues to either log in online or come to the House, so that we clear some of the business. We passed the Division of Revenue Bill a month and a half ago. The other House has passed the national Government Budget. We have not passed the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, which is their equivalent, since it is about disbursement of money to the counties. It will be sad to go on recess without passing the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, which among others, is one of the main business of this House. I request my colleagues that we transact that business today. I am sure most Members have handed in their nomination papers. I ask them to try today or tomorrow, so that we are able to pass all the Bills. I thank you."
