    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As we resume this afternoon, I would wish to join those who have come before me in commiserating with the family of the late MP, Hon. Ong’ondo. It was in a manner so gruesome and so sad as to paint a picture of the insecurity of every elected Member. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a member of ODM, we are mourning and will continue to mourn during this period before we lay the late Ong’ondo Were to rest on Friday, 9th at Kasipul. This is a lesson to all of us who are Members here that we must ensure that in our legislative duties, we think about life and the afterlife. This means that we must know that we serve a constituency and people. When we are in the Senate, we must deliver to those people because we are only here for some time. It is only the Almighty God who can determine the time when we exit from this world. It is not in our hands. We cannot define the manner, the architecture or the design of how we depart from the universe. Therefore, we must serve and continue to do so at the mercy of His Almighty God. I pray that the Almighty God place the hon. Ong’ondo Were's family in comfort and console them during this trying time. I also pray for all the fraternity of the ODM family and Homa Bay County because this was a gentleman who was poised to become the Chairperson of ODM in Homa Bay County. May the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace."
