    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to mourn our colleague in the House, my personal friend, neighbour, party- mate and county-mate, Hon. Kulow Maalim Hassan, whose untimely demise shocked the nation, Mandera County and all of us. I take this opportunity to thank you, Hon. Speaker and the leadership of the House for the support you offered to the family of our departed colleague when his untimely demise was announced. Hon. Kulow was a very humble man. It took him a 25-years struggle to become a Member of Parliament. He had tried for 25 years and got lucky in 2017 through the Economic Freedom Party (EFP. He was re-elected for the second time in the last election held on 9th August 2022. Hon. Kulow was immensely loved by his constituents. He was a humble man who loved to walk on foot, whether it was in the Central Business District (CBD) or whether going to the mosque. He had a bodyguard but you could rarely see him accompanied by him. On my behalf and that of my family and Mandera South Constituency, I take this opportunity to send my condolences to the family of our departed colleague, the people of Banissa and the people of Mandera County in general. One thing that many people do not know about Mheshimiwa Kulow is that he died in the month of Ramadhan. In our Muslim faith, when you get the honour to pass away in the month of Ramadhan, you are given the highest rank in Jannah, Paradise. He struggled in the last three Ramadhans. In 2021, when we were fasting, Mheshimiwa Kulow got Covid-19 and was in the emergency room and, therefore, did not fast. He fasted in 2022 and this was his third Ramadhan where he fasted for a day when the Almighty took him away. We wish him all the best in Jannah. We also wish his family all the best. Let them have patience and perseverance. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
