    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to pay tribute to the late Hon. Benson Kegoro, who preceded me as the Member of Parliament for West Mugirango in the 1970s. He passed on last week in his sleep. He will be laid to rest on Sunday at his home in Borabu Constituency. I also want to condole with the family and the constituents of the late Benson Kegoro. Besides having been a Member of the National Assembly, he also served as a councillor in Nyamira County. He was a leader who traversed several regimes – the regimes of the late Jomo Kenyatta, the late Daniel arap Moi, the late Mwai Kibaki and retired President Uhuru Kenyatta – and passed on during the reign of the Kenya Kwanza Government, led by President Samoei Ruto. On behalf of the people of West Mugirango, I celebrate the distinguished service that Hon. Benson Kegoro rendered to the people of West Mugirango and indeed the people of Kenya. I also plead with you, Hon. Speaker, that you invite the House to observe a minute of silence in honour of this great leader. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
