    "content": "Allow me to send condolences to the family of Hon. Omondi. I knew her when I was a Commissioner at the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC). We had a workshop at the Lilian Towers when she raised the issue of being on the party list ahead of the Senator who had been nominated. I remember telling her that she must go to court and fight it because the party list requirement is that they cannot nominate a person below and leave you. She asked me if I was sure they will do anything about it. I pleaded with her to go to court. She went to court and won the case and was nominated to this House. When she vied in Kholera Ward and won, I was so impressed. As you know, the politics of this country is violent and very competitive, but Hon. Omondi competed and did well. As Sen. Sifuna puts it, we campaigned with her in Matungu and she was fearless. All I am saying is she is a great example that disability is not inability. I hope that in memory of Hon. Omondi, we will have more PwDs, particularly women, coming out to participate in the political arena and represent the way she did."
