    "content": "infamous de-whipping as the Chairperson of Justice, Legal Affairs, and Human Rights in this House. Although I am his junior both politically and in the legal practice, Sen. Cheptumo did not look down upon me. He used to encourage me by saying, “ itakuwa sawa .” You know some of us are rabble rousers; we shoot straight from the hip. After an episode of weekend high octane politics, where I always play number nine, he would tell me, “you did well, ulimaliza mtu . We would laugh about it. So, Sen. Cheptumo also served as the Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, Assistant Minister, Chair of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations and the Committee Justice, Legal Affairs, and Human Rights. For four elections, Sen. Cheptumo has never lost. I think some of us need to study in his school of politics. How can one survive unbeaten in four straight elections? We know the Kenyan elections are normally--- He did a lot, especially on national security, where we are having issues abduction, extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances and police welfare. He was very passionate about it. He as the Co-chair of the Parliamentary Joint Committee that vetted the current Inspector General of Police, Mr. Kanja. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, secondly, I want to thank him because he was instrumental in the passage of my Bill on the Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft, which is now in the National Assembly. I appeal to the people of Baringo that in honour and legacy of Sen. William Kipkiror Cheptumo ( Lebeluk ), as he is known in the politics of Baringo, please, maintain peace in Baringo and the entire North Rift in honour of our fallen colleague, because he was a champion against insecurity in that region. In our local language, Mr. Speaker, I tell the people of Baringo and the family"
