    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 43(1), I rise to pay tribute to the former Member of Parliament for Bomachoge Chache Constituency, the late Hon. Simon Nyaundi Ogari, who passed away on Tuesday 10th September 2024 in his home, Karen, Nairobi. The late Hon. Simon Nyaundi Ogari was born on 31st May 1956. He attended Nyansara and Mugambi Primary Schools for his Certificate of Primary Education, where he excelled and proceeded to Cardinal Otunga High School, Mosocho for his Ordinary Level and Advanced Level certificates. He then proceeded to the University of Nairobi, where he successfully pursued studies for Bachelor of Quantity Survey between 1977 and 1980. The late Hon. Ogari began his career as a Quantity Surveyor, founding his own consultancy firm and rising through the ranks to eventually serve as the Chairman of the Institute of Quantity Surveyors of Kenya (IQSK). He joined politics in 2009, when he was elected the Member for the larger Bomachoge Constituency and later Bomachoge Chache Constituency. He was an astute legislator who contributed to Parliament in its Committees and Plenary. He served as the Assistant Minister for Transport, Information and Communication, and Trade during the 10th Parliament. He served as a Member of the Committee on Powers and Privileges and the Departmental Committee on Public Works, Roads and Transport. His legacy of dedicated service to the people of Bomachoge Chache in the 10th Parliament and the 11th Parliament will remain a guiding example for all of us in his leadership. Hon. Speaker, on my behalf and that of the people of my constituency, I wish to take this opportunity to condole with the family of the late Hon. Simon Nyaundi Ogari, his relatives, friends, and the people of Kenya at large. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
