    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is on behalf of my family and the people of Dagoretti South constituency that I rise to pass a condolence message to the family, friends, relatives and constituents of Alego Usonga and the people of Siaya on the passing on of the late Hon. Peter Oloo Aringo. Waziri Oloo Aringo was a minister when I was in primary school. Not only was he a minister then, but he also served with my dad in this esteemed august House, when he was a Member of Parliament for Alego Usonga, and my dad was representing a constituency known as Kandara. Hon. Oloo Aringo is famed to have been such a judicious and diligent Member of Parliament that back then, when we did not have mobile phones or the iPads that we have here, it is said that he was one of the few Members of Parliament who would go into his pigeonhole and get all the briefs and documents. He would comb them with a fine toothcomb. He was so diligent that he was well informed on any debate that came on the Floor of this House. The constituents tell of a man ready to mingle with the hoi poloi in the constituency to a point where he is famed to be a man who had seen this whole bottom-up economic model working as far back as the 1980s. This Parliament owes him a lot, especially when he served as a Commissioner. It is because of those many actions that he served in many positions. I take this opportunity to say that it is a great tree that has fallen in the name of Hon. Peter Oloo Aringo. May his soul rest in peace, and may his family know comfort and peace that surpasses all human understanding as may be given by none other than the Creator. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
