"content": " Thank you very much for giving me a chance to pass my heartfelt condolence on my behalf and my family and the people of Kwanza to the family of the late Suleiman Murunga. I personally worked with him in the 11th Parliament, as mentioned by Dr Pukose. He was a straightforward and hardworking man. As mentioned, Suleiman Murunga was a very successful businessman in Nairobi. Most of us who were still young learnt a number of good lessons from him. He was running the famous Simmers Restaurant opposite 680 Hotel. Much more, he was a very outgoing person. I remember one time he came to my Kwanza Constituency and even helped me to do some fundraising. Hon. Murunga worked very hard in his constituency. It is safe to say that the current Member of Parliament is Hon. Didmus Barasa, who is not here. I think he will be coming soon. He picked up from where Hon. Murunga left. As mentioned by Hon. Wamboka, he was the Director of Elections in FORD-Kenya, where I am Deputy Director. He did very well in that position during his time. We had too many Members of Parliament in this House belonging to FORD-Kenya. On my own behalf, that of my family and that of my constituents, I pass my heartfelt condolences to his family. We have a fundraising on the 14th of this month. Hon. Members who are able to help us escort the body to Kimilili are welcome. We will share the Pay Bill Number to those of you who wish to support us escort his body to Kimilili. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
