    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I was outside trying to draft something better to present this afternoon. But, luckily, my colleague presented this Statement to us. Today is a sad and happy day for Tharaka-Nithi. There are mixed feelings. The late Hon. Beatrice Nkatha is my predecessor. She is a lady whom I valued and honoured. When I decided to vie for the seat of a woman representative, I was so confused on how I would go about it. That is because she was like a mentor to me. That is why I even tell my people that I have not come to compete with her, but to continue from where she stopped. She was an honoured lady. She was a professional printer who worked with the provincial administration for close to 26 years. She did not know the poor and the rich. She left indelible marks in Tharaka-Nithi County. We are sad. She was a very hard-working lady. She was one of the founding mothers, officers and politicians of the UDA Party. She was a great friend of Prof. Kithure Kindiki. I expected her to be here with us, to be the leading mother to celebrate this joy that is in Tharaka- Nithi today. Unfortunately, she is not here. We are celebrating this great day and yet, we are mourning. I have just talked to the son who is so sad. I pray that God may give us peace, and comfort the people of Tharaka-Nithi County and her family. We loved her. May her soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you.
