    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the late Hon. Ntoitha M’Mithiaru served diligently in the 10th Parliament from 2007 to 2013 when he was elected as the Member for Igembe North Constituency. He rigorously articulated issues of concern to the people of Igembe North through parliamentary debates and questions. Through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), he initiated various development projects in the constituency, particularly in the education sector, where he pioneered the establishment of many day secondary schools, thus enhancing access to education. He was an active member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, where he was resourceful on various matters of finance and economy. He was also a member of several ad hoc committees, particularly the Select Committee on Depreciation of the Kenya Shilling, that was constituted to investigate the causes of the drastic and steady decline of the Kenya Shilling against the foreign currencies and make recommendations on the way forward. At the community level, the late Member was the Chairperson of the Igembe Development Organisation (IDO), through which he mobilised resources for community development. Igembe North Constituency has lost a people-centered leader and trailblazer for development initiatives. On my own behalf, my family and the people of Igembe North Constituency, I wish to condole with the family of the late Hon. Ntoitha M’Mithiaru, all his relatives and friends, the people of Igembe North and Kenyans for the loss of a distinguished public servant and leader. With your indulgence, may I request that we all stand to observe a minute of silence in honour of our departed colleague? May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
