    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On my own behalf, that of my family and the people of Nandi County, I take this opportunity to pass my deepest condolences. Yesterday, our sister was here. Although she was wearing a mask, she looked okay. I was shocked to receive the sad news in the morning that she is no longer with us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, coincidentally, I intended to bring the Petition about MCAs that I brought about yesterday as a Motion. However, I sat down with Marya and she took me through the entire process. She advised me that it will be better for it to come as a Statement for it to receive the necessary attention. For us who have worked with her, she was always composed and respectful to all Members. She was a stickler to the parliamentary procedures. We looked up to her, most of the time, for consultation on what we intended to present before the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember whenever I passed around the offices of parliamentary staff here in the Senate, she was always standing, moving from one desk to another, trying to make things in order. So, it is shocking that we have lost her. We have lost an epitome of experience in this House. My condolences to the Clerk and the rest of the staff. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not saying our staff are not well catered for. However, as a House, through the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), going into the future, we must ensure that the welfare of our staff is our top priority alongside ours."
