    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to also join my colleagues in mourning the late Hon. Were. As everyone has said, one life is as important as the rest of us. Losing one man, whether he is a Member of Parliament or not, is so painful to the country. Whenever we have an incident like the circumstances that led to the passing on of the Hon. Were, everyone would condemn in the strongest terms possible. Even as we mourn him, we also call upon the relevant Government agencies and institutions involved in the investigations to ensure that it is not only going to get us to the bottom of what caused the assassination of Hon. Were, but also the security of the rest of us Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, Sir, whenever such incidents happen, everyone else feels unsafe. We want to live in a country where we know we can see tomorrow because of the security situation we are experiencing. Hon. Were was one of us in Parliament and the people of Homa Bay and Kasipul Kabondo, the constituency that he represented, are mourning with us and the rest of the country. We ask that his soul be rested in eternal peace. I urge Kenyans to also be calm and at peace. Let us allow the relevant Government institutions to conduct their investigations. Hopefully, they will get to the bottom of it and give the country a report as to the cause of this very painful death. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we pray that the family of the late Hon. Were be also comforted by words of encouragement that have come from across the country. As they prepare to put his body to rest, we support them in whichever way and manner that we can as a House. I thank you."
