    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving the chance to send my condolences to the family and Kenyans for the loss of hon. John Michuki. Hon. John Michuki was a very admirable person; he a very admirable character. He was a very courageous politician. He was a gentleman you would love all the way. The last time I talked to him was sometime last year. That was before he fell sick. I asked him: “Brother Martin” – that is what I used to call him – what is the secret behind your success as a politician?” He told me: “Whatever job you are given, do it to perfection. Whatever job you are given, do not complain. Give it the best in your life.” We had that conversation over a cup of tea in our restaurant. Those who come from the same county with him will remember him as a gentleman who did not actually do what you told him. If you asked him a question, he would pause and tell you: “That is not possible.” As some of us have said, if you needed some help from him, he was not the type of person who would tell you to come tomorrow. He would pick up a phone and do exactly what you wanted him to do at that particular time and finish with you. We will miss him a lot in Murang’a County. He was a good leader. So, I join all Kenyans in sending my condolences to his family and the people of Kangema. Thank you very much."
