    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join Kenyans in giving my condolences to the family of the late hon. Michuki. That is one of the people I respected in this country, because he stood firm in what he believed. It did not matter whether or not you agreed with him. I respect that in a person. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also respected his strength of character. Even when the going was tough, he stood firm in what he believed. I also respected the fact that he delivered. If half of us worked as hard as him, this country would be very different. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, one of the memorable things that I remember about hon. Michuki is in 1997 when there was a reform wave in the country. The civil society together with Opposition met in Ufungamano. The youth then decided that they wanted a violent revolution. He did not know who I was, but he held my hand and told me: “Young lady, go and talk to your colleagues. If this is the way you are going, then Parliamentarians are leaving this process.” Indeed, the Parliamentarians left. I think we need to remember him for promoting peace, that saw us move forward during difficult times."
