    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 259D (2), I rise to pay tribute to a great man, a former Member of Parliament for South Baringo – the current Mogotio and Eldama Ravine constituencies – Hon. Edward Cherutich Kiptanui. He transitioned from this world on Tuesday, 28th January 2025, after a short illness. We mourn his departure but also celebrate a life well-lived, dedicated to service leadership and the betterment of our nation. Born on 15th February 1934 in Kisanana, Mogotio Constituency, Baringo County, Hon. Kiptanui was the first-born son of the late Assistant Chief Kimulwo Kiptanui and Talai Kimulwo. From an early age, he displayed a thirst for knowledge and a determination to uplift those around him. His educational journey took him from Kisanana to Tenges Secondary School and later to Kabarnet Intermediate School, where he laid the foundation for his life- long dedication to service and leadership. Driven by a passion for education, Hon. Kiptanui trained as a teacher at Kijabe Teachers Training College, eventually rising to Principal at Emining Full Primary School. Even in his role as a teacher, he demonstrated an unwavering commitment to community development. This elevated him to elective politics as the County Council Representative for the Central Rift.
