    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is hard for the people of Kakamega and especially Malava Constituency to accept the passing on of this humble man; a gentle man. He is a man who I cannot recollect when he ever clashed with anybody. I want to use this opportunity to celebrate him and to encourage his five sons, that the example the father has left is indeed possible for them to outlive it. I also want to say pole to the wife who by coincidence is the daughter of my aunt. The people of Malava have been lucky for so long. When the late Angatia was their MP, he was a very humble man. When Peter Soita Shitanda took over, he was equally very humble. Finally, there goes Malulu who, again, was a very humble man. I want to appeal to Parliament that we immortalize Hon. Malulu Injendi by giving the village elders the dream of earning a salary. This is as envisioned by Malulu Injendi when he moved the Bill that is going through the due process. Hon. Malulu Injendi did so much together with Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe. They did so much for the new order in the sugar industry. I want to use this opportunity to appeal to the Government to ensure that this Bill is implemented to the letter. They need to speed up the regulations to accompany it and to get rid of cartels in the sugar industry, which is the reason we are not doing well. I would like to appeal to the people of Malava, now that the President has given us Shamberere National Polytechnic, they need to think of how they can leave a mark of his name in that institution. This is because Hon. Malulu and I disturbed the President so much before he gave us that institution. Finally, let us also remember where we have come from. We fought to form to this Government. When I see a few careless people wanting to bring division within this Government, I do not like it. Therefore, even if we have offended each other, let us come back, so that the sweat, blood and broken limbs that occasioned the birth of this Government can have a meaning. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I say this because we were in the home of Hon. Malulu Injendi when the police descended on us, teargassed us and beat us up. They went into Hon. Malulu Injendi’s house and teargassed him with his children. I saw Malulu, he was a tall dark guy with white mucus coming from his nose. This Government meant so many things. May this Government succeed in giving our people development."
