    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to also pass my condolence to Sen. Cheptumo's family, Baringo County citizens, Kenyans at large, and to the Senate, where he was an outstanding Member. Just last evening, we went to condole with the family of our brother, Sen. Cheptumo. I tell the family that we feel for you. From the observations we had, as we sat with the family, led by the loving wife of Sen. Cheptumo, Madam Hanna Cheptumo, and the lovely children, we were encouraged as Senators, because we saw a very compact family. We could see their strength amidst the challenges they have had. We know our brother has been unwell for some time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, I mourn Sen. Cheptumo as a colleague in the Senate. We also shared a Committee; the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, where Sen. Cheptumo, because of being a ranking Member of Parliament and because of his background in law, was a source of direction. We will miss him. I met Sen. Cheptumo and the loving wife one time at the Nairobi Hospital when they went for their routine checkup. I can tell you that the family is promising. The wife he leaves behind is a caring woman. I encourage her and the family that there is a time for everything. There is a time for life and a time when you lose it, and it is actually biblical. Sen. Cheptumo was a calm legislator, as has been said by all the colleagues that have spoken here. We mourn with his family. May our brother rest in peace. Mr. Temporary Speaker, I also mourn with the people of Malava Constituency, where we have also lost Hon. Malulu Injendi, who was equally a gentleman, a calm man, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
