    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice on the demise of the late Hon. Lawrence Sifuna. He represented Kanduyi Constituency, which I represent at the moment, at the onset of multi-party democracy. On my behalf and that of the great people of Kanduyi, I wish to pass my sincere condolences to his family, friends and relatives and specifically to the Senator of Nairobi City County, Hon. Edwin Sifuna. The late Hon. Lawrence Sifuna was a fearless defender of the people. He spoke truth to authority and defended the people of Kanduyi. He was a fearless debater and astute legislator. He immortalised himself on the Floor of this House by the contributions he made to defend his people. We, as the people of Kanduyi, the entire Bungoma County and Kenya as a whole, have lost a patriot, serious legislator and defender of the rights of the people. I join this House and the entire nation in mourning such a great man. When our time comes, what shall we be counted for? As my colleague has said, we should make this a State funeral in honour of this very great legislator who straddled this House like a colossus. I submit and wish his soul eternal peace. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
