    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me join you in paying tribute to our late Senator William Kipkiror Cheptumo who passed away on 16th February 2025. First, I endorse whatever you read as being the truth regarding the life of Hon. William Cheptumo, our Senator and immediate former Member for Baringo North. He is the man I took over from in 2022. I want to make it known that Senator Cheptumo was not only the Senator for Baringo County, but was also my maternal uncle. I have lost a mjomba . A man that was first in many things. He joined school too late. For those of us who were not born in hospitals and lived in rural areas, we joined school too late. It has been said that Hon. Cheptumo was 57 years old, but the truth is that he was not. For those of us who were not born in hospitals, we always chose Christmas Day as our birthday. He did a good job in Baringo North Constituency. I will ensure that whatever Cheptumo started in Baringo North Constituency will be completed within the shortest time possible. Since my time is limited, I wish to inform the Members that Hon. Cheptumo will be laid to rest in his home in Bartabwa on 1st March 2025. Additionally, there will be a requiem mass on 27th February 2025 at AIC Milimani. I also knew Hon. Injendi as my Registrar at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA), where I studied double mathematics. May their souls rest in peace."
