    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have known Minister John Michuki for a considerably long period of time. I know him as a very straightforward leader. I think the greatest tribute we can pay to Minister John is to emulate his example. If he believed in something, he stood clearly and said so. When it was time to say that the end had come for the matatu menace in terms of disorder, we all know what happened. The results were the “Michuki Rules.” Even when he dealt with issues that were controversial, he never shied away from taking his position and elaborating it. He was a faithful nationalist and a very good friend to this country. I want to join all of us in mourning the passing on of a distinguished son of this land, the late hon. John Michuki. I was privileged to actually have been, perhaps, one of the few people who saw him in his final moment because I saw him a day before yesterday at the ICU of the Aga Khan Teaching Hospital. He was able to recognize him. I left him clearly confident that the infection that they were dealing with was going to be cleared by the following morning and that we would see him out of the ICU. That was not to be. I want to join you in praying to God that he will rest the soul of our departed friend, nationalist, and distinguished Kenyan leader. I wish him well in eternity. May God rest his soul in eternal peace and give fortitude to his family to bear this very tragic loss."
