    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I was informed of her death with a lot of bitterness. She was my inspiration. When I was going to school as a young man, she was the Member of Parliament for Kisumu Constituency, which was then very large. It comprises four constituencies today. She was able to run her portfolio very well both in Parliament and at home. Her efforts inform me to defy this nonsense of two-thirds gender rule because she was able to defy the political landscape at that time. I saw many people, both educated and the moneyed, coming together to fight her but she ended up defeating them politically. I saw another lady Member from Eldoret North and Hon. Anarita Karimi from Meru fighting for their respective seats and winning. This nonsense of ‘we must reserve some two-thirds seats for women’ makes me reluctant… On my behalf and that of the people of Muhoroni, I send my condolences to the family and fraternity of the late Hon. Grace Onyango. May God rest her soul in eternal peace."
