    "content": "Hon. Charles Lugano was born in 1953 in the then larger Kakamega District. He was elected to Parliament during the General Election of December, 2007, on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party ticket. During his short parliamentary career, he served in the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Committee, of which he was an active and committed Member. Hon. Lugano will be remembered for his humility, dedication to service, not only to his constituents, but also to the country as a whole. Before being elected to Parliament, the late Member served as the General Manager of Turkana Fisheries Co-operative Society and as a Chief Accountant with the Kenya Red Cross Society before venturing into and curving a distinguished career in business. Many of us who interacted and worked with hon. Lugano will acknowledge that he was a humble, gentle and amiable personality and we will all miss him. On behalf of the House and, indeed, on my own behalf, I send out our heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives, friends, constituents and the people of Kenya during this difficult moment of loss and grieve. May the Almighty God grant solace and comfort to the bereaved family and give them strength to bear the great loss. May God place his soul in eternal peace. Amen. Hon. Members, in honour of our departed colleague, and in our established tradition, I will request that we all stand up and observe a minute of silence in his honour."
